Took a little longer to get the complete results, but things sorted themselves out.  The divivion leading tacks were a little less loathsome and detestable to me as they pounded the Bills into submission last night.  The Colts wound up losing to an up and coming Browns team, while the Texans, fresh off firing coach Bill O'Brien, beat the Jaguars to get into the win column, and out of the AFC South cellar, now and perpetually occupied by my Jaguars.  This resulted in a 2-1 week for me as the Colts' kept me from going undefeated for the first time this year and 11-5 overall.

Now for this week's games

Houston (1-4) at Tennesseee (4-0)-The Texans got their first win of the season last week and go up against the Titans, against whom they have had considerable success.  But make no mistake, this isn't the Texans of a few years back.  This team is a shell of its former self and doesn't look to be up to the task of continuing their success against the Tacks.  Question for you older fans:  Which was worse...Earl Campbell against Isaiah Robertson  or Derrick Henry vs. Josh Norman?     Tacks win 27-20.

Detroit (1-4) at Jacksonville (1-4)-in a battle of floundering franchises, the Lions travel to Jacksonville to take on the good guys.  The first question is which of these coaches gets fired first?  I don't know, but I don't like the thought of Stafford having time to throw to Golliday, which is what I get when I think of this game.  Detroit wins 31-23.

Cincinnati (1-3-1) at Indy (3-2)-Indy closes the Ohio stretch of their schedule, returning home from a loss to Cleveland to face the Bengals.  The Ravens brought the Bengals and prized rookie Joe Burrow back to earth.  Indy also has a sturdy defense, but I don't think they have the explosive element that the Ravens' D has.  Still, I think it's enough to win at home, especially since the Bengals can't seem to protect Burrow, even though he vows to get rid of the ball faster.  Colts win 27-17.

Last week:  2-1

Overall:  11-5
