Las Vegas - Yo Eck, how can you possibly open your wallet for a team, Houston, that is coming off a 41-7 beatdown? Reasons. First is PERFECTION. The last six times the Texans have lost, they have bounced back with SIX wins, and 6-0 is tough to fade. And coming off an embarrassing, humiliating, UGLY loss, pick your adjective, you can bet, and we will, that Bill O'Brien's kids are gonna be ready to EAT! We looked at Indy's offense, and it's missing two EXTREMELY important pieces. Marlon Mack, who rumbled for 109 yards last week, broke his hand and will not be in uniform. Then T.Y. Hilton is probably gonna be a no-show. T.Y. grabbed 19 balls for 388 yards the last three times against Houston, and without his hands and blazing speed, that's a big problem for the Horseshoes. We're seeing a bunch of -4 around Vegas, but if you shop at Caesars Palace, Wynn or the Mirage, -3.5 is available. And you can take this stat to the betting window. The Texans have won 12 of the last 15 games as a favorite.
Also taking a little taste of two prop wagers. Gonna drop some cash on Deshaun Watson to score the first TD at 10/1, and take the Texans -.5 to win the 1st quarter.
Another prop wager on the board is, will Adam Vinatieri miss a field goal or extra point?
Yes is -$140 vs. No at +$120. We're not in on this prop, but if you think Vinatieri's right leg is getting old, it's 46 going on 47, and cranky, the Yes wager is a reasonable price.
