The Miami Dolphins have given up on the Chad Henne experiment at quarterback as they face a near must win situation today in week 10 NFL odds at home against the Tennessee Titans. Kick-off on CBS is scheduled for 1:05pm EST and online sportsbooks have opened with the game as a pick'em with an over/under betting total of 43. Heading into NFL week 10 picks, Miami enters this game with a record of 4-4 straight up and 5-3 against the spread as 5 of their games have gone UNDER the total.
Chad Pennington will start at QB today in the attempt to give a spark to the offense that ranks 28th for scoring. Pennington had a pro bowl season in 2008 as he led the Dolphins to the playoffs but missed last year due to injury. Pennington will have support from the backfield tandem of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams that offers the ability for a balanced attack. The defense ranks in the middle of NFL odds for most categories. The last straw for Henne was last week's pathetic 26-10 loss at Baltimore. Miami is 1-2 against the spread at home so far with all 3 of those games going over the total.
The Tennessee Titans have a record of 5-3 both straight up and against the spread heading into NFL week 10 picks with 5 of their games going OVER the total. The Titans are the top scoring team in the NFL and rank 9th for points allowed. Tennessee is coming off a 33-25 loss at San Diego last week. Vince Young has a 103.1 QB rating with a 9/2 TD/INT ratio while Chris Johnson has 721 yards rushing with 8 TD's. The Titans have paid out in NFL odds for 3 of 4 road games this year. In this head to head series the Titans and Dolphins have gone UNDER the total in 5 consecutive match-ups at Miami.
