This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on the Houston Texans.
Houston is coming off a 32-0 loss in Arizona in its first game of the preseason, while Atlanta would hold on for a 16-10 win at home over Miami. The Texans come in eager to put some points on the board and to play a lot more aggressively on the defensive side of the ball and I think that when the smoke clears at the end of this one, that these teams will both be at 1-1. Texans' starting QB Ryan Fitzpatrick looked pretty ordinary in his first start for his new team, completing only six passes with two INT's. So should we read a lot into Houston's performance? Obviously not, Game 1 of the preseason is absolutely meaningless, and with that awkward contest behind them, the Texans can look to make a marked improvement in Week 2. And don't look now, reinforcements are supposed to be back in the line-up today (at least for a while before making way for the backups and wannabe's), as RB Arian Foster, WR Andre Johnson and LB Brian Cushing all returned to practice this week. Like the Texans, the Falcons were major disappointment in 2013, the defensive line was a major culprit in giving up 44 sacks of QB Matt Ryan; suffice it to say, I think Atlanta has its hands full this week vs. JJ Watt and Clowney. And should we read anything into Atlanta's 16-10 victory over Miami? While the Falcons certainly looked better than Houston did last week, I'll caution in reading anything into it at all (remember, the Chargers looked great in their opener, only to then get annihilated in Seattle in their Week 2 matchup). Houston has something to prove to here, I think the Falcons go through the motions and in the end, the home side pulls away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover; play on HOUSTON.
