Are you ready for some <\/font>football betting<\/span><\/a>? Sunday night on NBC, it’s the Hall of Fame Game between the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills. The betting odds have the Titans as a chalk ranging from 2.5-3 points with varying juice.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

There frankly are no major surprises in the Titans quarterback rotation and starters playing time as announced by Jeff<\/st2:GivenName> Fisher<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName>.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

According to the Titans head coach: the starters including QB Kerry Collins will play “a few series. Vince<\/st2:GivenName> Young<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName> will come in at QB and play into the third quarter. Another former NFL starter Patrick<\/st2:GivenName> Ramsey<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName> will follow and Alex<\/st2:GivenName> Mortensen<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName> may get a few snaps.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

Top draft pick Kenny<\/st2:GivenName> Britt<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName>, a wide receiver out of Rutgers<\/st1:place> will not play. Also out is Pro Bowl center Kevin<\/st2:GivenName> Mawae<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName>.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

Buffalo<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> head coach Dick<\/st2:GivenName> Jauron<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName> said the starters will play “a couple of series” but that he knows the starters and wants to take a look at some backups.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

The Bills are 0-2 straight up in Hall of Fame games. Buffalo<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>‘s offensive line is completely rebuilt and their first and second round picks Eric<\/st2:GivenName> Wood<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName> and Andy<\/st2:GivenName> Levitre<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName> will both audition for starting spots. The big uglies will be minus one starter up front though as right tackle Brad<\/st2:GivenName> Butler<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName> is out. Wood and Levitre will still stay in the game after the other starters leave.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

Totals players: the Bills are expected to unveil their no-huddle even though they didn’t work on it in training camp.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

Top betting pick on this game: <\/b>GodsTips, anchor of <\/font><\/font>OffshoreInsiders.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b> is the football betting specialist. They have a Major play on the side and possible late steam on the total at OffshoreInsiders.com. The MasterLockLine will have the top sports service total.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

The Titans actually opened up camp a week late as head coach Fisher believes with the extra postseason game, his team will get plenty of playing time later in camp. <\/v:stroke><\/v:f><\/v:f><\/v:f><\/v:f><\/v:f><\/v:f><\/v:f><\/v:f><\/v:f><\/v:f><\/v:f><\/v:f><\/v:formulas><\/v:path><\/o:lock><\/v:shapetype><\/font><\/font><\/v:imagedata><\/w:wrap><\/v:shape><\/o:p><\/div>\n

Information from the initial primer: This “neutral” Hall of Fame game should have more Bills fans making the journey as former Bills sack master Bruce<\/st2:GivenName> Smith<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName> and Bills founder Ralph<\/st2:GivenName> Wilson<\/st2:Sn> Jr.<\/st2:nameSuffix><\/st1:PersonName> will be inducted. Adding to that previous report, 70 percent of the induction ceremony tickets were sold to people in the Buffalo<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> area, so a similar partisan crowd can be expected at kickoff.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

The weather should not be a factor at all. Kickoff temperature will be in the lower 70s, though some winds are expected between 9 and 14 mph.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

Former starting QB Vince Young is now the backup for the Titans but has looked sharp in training camp.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

This game marks the debut of the Terrell<\/st2:GivenName> Owens<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName> circus coming to Buffalo<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>. Tennessee<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> probably lost the biggest star of any NFL team in the offseason as Albert<\/st2:GivenName> Haynesworth<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName> is gone. “Intangibles” handicappers will want to note this is the first Titans game since the tragic death of their best every QB Steve McNair and they will wear a No. 9 in honor of him on their helmet.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

The media is making a hullabaloo about this being a rematch of the Music City Miracle in which the Titans stunned the Bills in the 1999-2000 playoffs on one of the greatest and most controversial play in NFL history.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

ScoresOddsPicks.com <\/span>Brian<\/st2:GivenName> Gould<\/st2:Sn><\/st1:PersonName> has stated that NFL handicappers should disregard any motivational edge that may apply to this game as a result of a playoff game nine years ago.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

As we survey every quality <\/font>sportsbook<\/font><\/span><\/a> it appears that for those who want Buffalo<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>, <\/font>Bet Online<\/font><\/span><\/a> has the Bills getting 3 points at \u2013119. <\/font>Bodog<\/font><\/span><\/a> has similar odds.<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n
