If it makes you feel any more sane, the home team is typically given a three-point edge just for being home. Not sure that's valid this year with no audience but, if you take out the home field factor, the Patriots would be 1-2 point favorites.

Eh, still doesn't make sense. I can see this game taking in the most money this week with public and sharps alike betting on New England. But, that's where it always seems to get crazy... what do the odds-makers know that would make them post such a line and how can anybody put money on the Texans right now? It's like the bookies are playing Jedi mind games....

The Texans have had their chances to win several games this year - besides the two Jags games, none have gone their way in the end. Possibly, possibly they (the Texans) can keep it close but I just don't see them winning much less being the favorite. New England -4 sounds more appropriate to me....
