Ya, that's kind of where I'm at. Just too many points to pass up. Texans outright (money line = +1000) is least probable but pays handsomely.... $100 bet returns $1000 if the Texans win. Betting the big dogs, though, can leave you crying...
In the betting forums, I'm seeing overwhelming Patriots support:
Quote:
The Pats beat the Texans 27-0 with Jacoby Brissett, The Texans can't score.
This will be a 24-31 point game, The Texans feast on turnovers and short fields to score their very few points, Brady never turns the ball over.
Brock turns the ball over a bunch, That spread could be behind after the first quarter.

Texans lost to the 3rd stringer already and got shut out.

Although a few like the Texans and the points:

I would take the points. Texans D looks real good.

Still a shit ton of points for a playoff game and Jadeveon is a beast. Few weird bounces and a prevent defense late can bust up a 16 point spread pretty easily.

And then you got your NFL conspiracy theories:
Quote:
Why would the NFL want the Texans to go to the next round and not New England?
Clearly you could tell in all 4 games this past weekend who the NFL wanted. Crazy that these 10 win teams couldn't do dik with the ball the entire game.

Frankly, I don't see the Patriots having a markedly greater talent level. I think our athletes can match up with any teams athletes. Yep, we're weak at QB and OL. But I think the biggest difference is with the head coach/coaching. Now, I like OB OK and think he will eventually become a very good HC but right now, Belichick is light years ahead of him.... If he (OB) puckers up or plays scared, it'll be the like the first game all over again....
