Las Vegas - HOLA. We fly down to Mexico tonight where the 49ers hook up with the Cardinals. Before we get to all the injuries, lets talk ALTITUDE! The Estadio Azteca in Mexico City is approximately 7,300 feet high and will be an issue with both teams.

The NFL has decided to move the game to Detroit, which bumped the O/U back up to 48.5 in some spots. Hope that you grabbed the total at 41.5 then bought back at 48.5.

Read MoreLas Vegas - Tennessee is riding a gorgeous 7-0 spread winning streak on the way to Lambeau but there are some issues. The Titans will be without starting center Ben Jones (concussion), safety Amani Hooker (shoulder), kicker Randy Bullock (right calf) and outside linebacker Bud Dupree (hip). Those are some VERY important pieces to Mike Vrabel's puzzle.
