I'd take the Panthers, boot the points and take the under.

Texans kinda handcuffed the playbook on Mills, which kept him from throwing picks when he wasn't absorbing some tough hits. The Panthers run game wasnt quite a strong as anticipated with McCaffrey out injured. Texans did play from behind, and point scoring was limited with the Panthers playing it safe offensively. Needed that Texans FG to be a TD, but I'll cash a win against the spread with the under paying too.

The 2-1 Titans seem to be the best in the AFCS right now. They got by 0-3 Indy 25-16 no problem today.

The 0-3 Jags were in it until late 3rd qtr against the Cardinals. Two INT's and two lost fumbles by rookie QB Trevor Lawrence ended that. Jags fall 31-19.

The KC Chiefs are 1-2.

The Texan's upcoming opponent, the 2-1 Buffalo Bills, cruised over Washington today 43-21.

Early line for Texans @ Bills is the Bills by 16½.
