Result: Push
Point Spread: -3.00 | -119.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Push
The set-up: Both teams won last week, but I think the Texans will find a way to defend their home field. Dallas held on for a 26-24 home win over Detroit, while Houston prevailed 37-34 in OT over the Colts.
The teams: Despite last week's decent effort, the Cowboys are still averaging only 16.8 PPG. The team's strength is clearly on the defensive side of the ball as it's allow only 19.2 PPG. Dak Prescott had 255 yards and two TD's last week, while Ezekiel Elliot had 152 rushing yards.
Houston QB DeShaun Watson had 375 yards, two TD's and an INT last week. Like their counterparts today though, the Texans' have struggled at times on both sides of the ball.
However I expect Watson to build off his best outing of the year and take advantage of friendly confines.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Houston is 5-2 ATS in its last seven after scoring 37 or more points in its previous contest, while Dallas is just 12-26-1 ATS in its last 39 on field turf. Lay the points.
