Texans at Redskins Odds
Despite beating the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday, the Washington Redskins aren’t getting much respect from oddsmakers with the 1-0 Houston Texans coming to town this weekend.
Game Preview:
The Redskins held the Cowboys to only seven points in the opener, but with the Texans coming off a huge win over the Colts, they’ve been installed as a 2.5-point favorite. Arian Foster rushed for over 230 yards last week in Houston’s win over Indy, which helped make the Texans favored in Week 2 against Washington. Houston appears to be a strong public play this weekend, even though the Skins certainly have enough tools on defense to slow Foster, Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson down.
Line Movement & Updated Odds:
The Texans opened as 3 point favorites and now are either –3 or –2.5 depending on what book you use. Oddsmakers from online sports book BroburySports.com has Houston listed as a 3-point favorite, while the over/under is 44.
