The 6-6 Texans have been flexed into the Sunday night prime time game this week as they host the 10-2 New England Patriots. New England is coming off two straight losses and banged up but the oddsmakers still like them to win as they have been established as 3 pt favorites.
The Texans had their 4 game winning streak broken last week on the road against the Buffalo Bills losing 30-21. The Texans will look to get back on track and keep their chances of post-season football alive but will have a tough task of it with the Patriots.
The Texans are 6-6 ATS and the Pats are 5-5-2 ATS.
