#301/302 – ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 43.5 Points – Carolina vs Houston, Thursday at 8:20 PM ET - We feel this is a bad spot for Carolina on the road for the first time coming off home wins over the Jets & Saints but we’re not about to take Houston in this game with their situation at QB. The Under is the best play in this game. Rookie Davis Mills will start at QB for Houston with Tyrod Taylor going on injured reserve. Mills played the 2nd half last week and let the Texans to one TD @ Cleveland. He was just 8 of 18 through the air and while he was in the game Houston averaged just 4.2 YPP. While he will get to practice with the starters this week, it’s only for a few days on a short week so far from ideal for a rookie QB. He’s facing a Carolina defense that’s allowed 21 points this season and they lead the NFL allowing just 3.7 YPP. Last week vs the Saints the Panthers allowed a total of 128 yards! Houston will struggle offensively in this game. The Panthers haven’t exactly lit the world on fire offensively with 19 points vs the Jets and 26 vs the Saints. Houston’s defense did a decent job last week vs one of the top offenses in the NFL holding the Browns to 355 total yards. Both of these teams like to run the ball ranking in the top 6 in carries per game which will help eat this clock and shorten the game. We foresee Carolina getting ahead in this game and grinding out a win with Houston’s offense doing very little. Play the UNDER on Thursday Night.
