SUNDAY
Dolphins (+3) over TITANS: Cat’s not wild about 40-degree forecast, but Dolphins are supremely focused under coach Tony Sparano, and catch Jeff Fisher and (presumably) Vince Young outside preferred underdog role. This becomes easier should Kerry Collins be forced into action. Dolphins (+3) keep it going, for one unit.
TUESDAY
Brigham Young (+2½) over Oregon State (Las Vegas Bowl): BYU will travel, and doubt Beavers enjoy optimum mindset after blowing Rose Bowl shot against despised Oregon Nikes. BYU ripe to pull this off (+2½) for one unit.
LAST NIGHT: Cowboys.
LAST WEEK: 3-1 (plus two units). Lions (minus one unit). Dolphins (plus one unit). Chargers (plus one unit). Eagles (plus one unit).
SEASON: 21-24 (minus three units).
