And then to cap it all off this retard calls fair catch on the two. Nice work, Izzo, you're nailing it.

Eheh, no like a fool I wagered on the Texans. Not real money, though.... points. Points is the currency on this betting website I frequent...

I was purposefully non-commital. I definitely never said the Texans would win on here, I just said the numbers are too easy to play with and too hard to rely on in football because of the tiny sample size. It leads to betting websites offering tips on trends based on two games in the last decade. My point was just that betting on the patriots at home is already a bigger trend then the Patriots as a Home dog. But throwing out 10-2 sounds good and makes people think they had an inside scoop.

The Patriots home record should have been enough to make anyone bet them any time the money line is reasonable.

With all that said, I picked the Texans in a pick em because I'm an idiot.

Never ever pick a Houston team on prime-time or when it counts.
