Early peek

With three games on the NFL schedule for Thursday, it's maybe a little early to look closely at the Bengals-Titans game.

But I see a bad matchup for the Bengals, especially if defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth is able to play. Tennessee will run the ball effectively, and quarterback Vince Young will make a couple of heartbreaking plays with his feet.

Titans 23, Bengals 20.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Giving the Bengals 20 points is quite generous of you, Mark. I feel like this will be one of those games that we'll trail the entire time.

Cincinnati will win this game. I don't know how but considering that they have lost many that they should have won, Cleve, Seattle, Buff and Arizona I figure that they will win one that we really don't expect them to win.

Also, I figure that they will have one of those games that make you shake your head wondering why they haven't played that way all year.

As a Turkey Day surprise I'm picking a score of 27-21.

Mark - Do you have inside information that the NFL is spotting us 20 points? Just wondering...

Vince Young will look like Tom Brady this Sunday. Jeff Fisher and his assistants are very solid. Our coaching staff looks lost. No way Tenn leaves without a win. Even without Haynesworth playing.
