Point Spread: +3/-130 Houston

Sportsbook: BetOnline

Result: Win

Today's winner is Houston over Atlanta. This is my High Roller Play.

There are two thing a team must do to win in the NFL. #1, they must run the ball successfully. The Texans are the only team in the league with two RB's with over 700 yards each. Foster and Tate have combined for 1512 YR, almost 5 YPC (4.9) and 10 TDs. They can control the clock and keep Atlanta's defense away from 3rd string QB, TJ Yates. The second thing a team must do is to be able to stop the run. The Houston "D" is 4th in the NFL against the run, holding foes to a mere 92.5 YPG on the ground. Atlanta is to up-and-down to back anytime. The Falcon's are 2-5-1 ATS their L8 games played as a favorite and 2-5 ATS their L7 games played vs. teams with a winning record. The Texans are 4-1-10 ATS their L6 games played at home and 4-0-1 ATS their L5 games played overall. Take Houston. Thank you.
