(Rotation #466) St. Louis +9 ? This isn't really particularly shocking that the Rams are sharp. They have changed quarterbacks once again back to QB Shaun Hill, and we aren't all that sure what that is going to do to the rest of the team. What we do know is that QB Peyton Manning has a history of destroying teams like this, and in a strange twist, he might be more comfortable playing here on the road at the Edward Jones Dome than he is playing in his own stadium in the elements. However, we have already seen the Rams take down the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks this year. Could the Broncos end up being next in line?

(Rotation #474) Indianapolis -3 ? What is this? A favored home team actually being sharp on Sunday Night Football? It's a rarity for sure, especially when you consider the fact that this is an Indianapolis team which has a history of being very square. That said, the "more square" team is New England in this game for sure. QB Tom Brady and the Pats have made virtually no mistakes over the course of the last month of the season, including beating the Broncos at home. That said, if you take away that one game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Indy has been pretty darn flawless, too. QB Andrew Luck should be in for another 300+ yard game against a New England secondary that just allowed 438 yards to the Broncos.
Opening Line: Indianapolis -2.5
Current Line: Indianapolis -3

(Rotation #476) Tennessee +5.5 ? This is far less of a stunner. The Titans are perceived to be a tremendously inferior team to the Steelers, and even though this game is played in Nashville, public bettors don't really seem to care. QB Ben Roethlisberger just hasn't played well on the road this year. Pittsburgh has fewer touchdowns on the road in five games than Roethlisberger had all by himself in those two games where he threw six touchdowns in each. The Titans are two weeks removed from their bye, and they are destined to get a heck of a lot better as QB Zach Mettenberger continues getting his practice time in. Keep in mind as well that Pittsburgh's linebackers and safeties are all sorts of banged up at the moment. If there is a coach who could exploit these injuries, it is Ken Whisenhunt. An upset could be in the making.
Opening Line: Tennessee +5.5
Current Line: Tennessee +5.5
