Houston has surprised many with their hot start. The Texans are 2-1 straight-up but a perfect 3-0 to the spread. But they run into unfamiliar territory here. Houston finds themselves as a 3-point road favorite and it’s something they’ve been only once in their 73 games. Both teams played Carolina this year. Houston was a 6 ½-point road underdog in that game. Atlanta was a 4-point home underdog to the Panthers. So how can Houston be a road favorite in this game? Well, the simple answer is that those playing this game will only lay the points with Houston because Atlanta stinks. The Texans will be without their best player, WR Andre Johnson, who tore up his knee two games back. Another interesting storyline is the return of QB Matt Schaub. After being Atlanta’s backup for a few years, Schaub returns and know he wants this game big time. But with limited personnel, and the fact that the Texans are in a rare role, taking point makes the most sense. Play Atlanta plus the points.
