10* NFL Game of the Week
(NFL) Houston vs. Atlanta,
Point Spread: 6.00 | -108.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
The Texans will keep Julio Jones and company off the field with their defense and pressure. Houston is one of the best 3rd down defensive teams in the NFL. With the 3-0 start the Falcons have gone from being a +3 home underdog in the opening week to being nearly a touchdown home favorite in Week 4. Houston's losses have both come by just seven points and with just 20 points allowed per game as the Texans figure to be the superior defensive team in this matchup. The Texans also finally got back to running the ball with success last week posting 186 yards on over 4.0 yards per carry and Ryan Mallett's confidence should grow with a win under his belt. The Houston defense will attack Matt Ryan and make the offensive line uncomfortable throughout and I think this will be very tight and the Houston Texans are ready to pull the upset on the road.
