Atlanta Falcons @ Houston Texans (HOU -5)
TREND: ATL after two losses
- SU: 9-16-0 (36%) last 7 years
- ATS: 9-16-0 (36%) last 7 years
Matt Ryan vs Deshaun Watson. Julio Jones vs Deandre Hopkins. Most importantly, Dan Quinn vs Bill O’Brien. The Falcons have looked out of whack all year and have been playing from behind in most of it, inflating their offensive stats late in non-competitive games to make them seem like a true threat. In reality, the offensive line is a major weakness and the offensive play-calling lacks creativity, specifically in the red zone. Houston got shut down last week at home, but has all of the tools to perform at a high level with future superstar Deshaun Watson leading the charge.
