Texans vs. Patriots Prediction
FOXBORO, MA (ATS Consultants) – The top two teams in the AFC will battle tonight when the Patriots host the Texans at 8:30PM ET. Will Houston pull off the upset? NFL Odds: According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Patriots are a 3.5-point favorite over the Texans, while the total is 52 in most books. Houston is 11-1 overall and 6-0 on the road, while New England is 9-3 overall and 4-1 at home. Line Movement: The Patriots opened as a 6-point favorite but the line dropped down to 3 or 3.5 points depending on what book you view. As for the total, it opened at 53 and has dropped to 51.5 or 52.

NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take Houston. According to latest NFL trends, Houston is 17-5-2 ATS L24 vs. AFC and 9-3 ATS L12 road games. This should be the game of the weekend. Houston (11-1) has only met the Patriots (9-3) three times in their history. This is really the first time where the Texans have been on equal footing. Houston is coming off a 24-10 win at Tennessee as Matt Scab threw for 2 picks, and DE J.J. Watt added two sacks. New England’s offense took another hit last week as they lost Julian Edelman for the year due to a foot injury. With Rob Gronkowski out, the Pats may need to run the ball more and not allow Tom Brady to see a lot of Watt. 2012 NFL WEEK 14 FREE PICK: HOUSTON TEXANS +3.5 |
