Anyone playing the HOU/DEN UNDER?

49.5 seems about 4-5 points too high. No AJ for Houston so Champ can lock down on Jacoby Jones with no safety help, whatsoever. Arian Foster is a tad dinged up. Tebow won't be conservative, but lacks Orton's gunslinger mentality. Moreno is playing and Denver should try a more balanced attack, despite Houston's obvious deficiency on defending the pass. To me, this total would look right if all key players were healthy and Orton vs/ Schaub was the QB matchup.
Now, the obvious retort would be that these are, without a doubt, two of the worst 5 defenses in the league and both are coming off disastrous performances. I just expect a slower-paced, run-oriented game and 49.5 seems quite a bit high.
