Chiefs vs. Texans Free Pick
The Texans look to rebound after their second home loss of the year last Sunday when they host the surprising 3-1 Chiefs at 1:00PM ET. Read on to check out our pick for today’s game.
Before we get to our pick for this game, let’s take a look at the latest odds.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the Texans 4.5-point favorites over the Chiefs in Week 6. The over/under total for this game is currently 45 points.
Kansas City is 3-1 on the year, but suffered its first loss of the season last week in Indianapolis. They’re 3-1 against the spread, but 1-1 ATS on the road with a failed cover last Sunday against the Colts.
Houston is 3-2 overall and 3-2 against the spread, but they’re just 1-2 straight up at home and 1-2 ATS at Reliant Stadium. They’re giving up 28.3 points per game at home this year and 27.2 PPG overall.
The Pick:
The Chiefs’ defense will keep them in most games, but their offense has been brutal. The Colts exposed them a bit last week and even though Kansas City had a couple opportunities to score (and if not, win), it failed to do so. That said, Houston’s defense has been equally bad and the Texans are just 1-4 against the spread in their last five games in Week 6. We see the value in Kansas City because again, their defense will keep things close. The Chiefs are also 5-1 against the spread in their last six games as an underdog and 4-1 ATS in their last five against the AFC. Our pick is Kansas City plus the points.
