The Houston Texans take on the Carolina Panthers NFL Thursday Night Football. The Panthers are going for their first 3-0 start since 2015. The Carolina Panthers have not fared well on the road as they have lost four of their last five road games. The offense is led by former NY Jet Sam Darnold with 584 passing yards, with three touchdowns and one interception. The Panthers rushing attack puts up 100 yards a game and is led by Christian McCaffrey with 170 yards and one touchdown. On the defensive end, they are giving up 10.5 points and 190 yards a game.

The Houston Texans will go above .500 with a win. The Houston Texans have lost six of their last nine games at home. The offense is led by Tyrod Taylor with 416 yards, with three touchdowns and zero interceptions. The Texans rushing attack puts up 121 yards a game and is led by Mark Ingram II with 126 yards and one touchdown. On the defensive end, they are giving up 26 points and 375 yards a game.

Carolina has relied on their defense as thier offense has been solid but not spectacular. In the first two games, they have combined for just 46 points. Their first two games have gone under and they have gone under the total in thier last five games. Houston will be going with a rookie quarterback with limited weapons, that I feel will struggle against this Carolina defense. If Carolina gets off to a big lead and can vision them running the ball a lot and controlling the clock. I look for Houston to try and run the ball to take pressure off of Mills. I like the UNDER.

Play on the UNDER.
