The set-up: Houston was 11-5 last year and it won its third straight AFC South Division title. The Packers though are coming off a terrible 6-9-1 season, which has seen some major changes come to the team over the last couple of months. Houston was 3-1 in the preseason last year, after going 3-4 the year before. Green Bay though is led by first-time coach Matt LaFleur and despite this being only Week 1 of the pre-season, I think he'll be extra motivated here to actually try and win this game in front of the home town crowd.

The pick: DeShaun Watson and Aaron Rodgers aren't likely going to play, but each team has plenty of talent. Houston has AJ McCarron and Joe Webb III as its backup QB's, but the Texans have taken a step back in the RB department, with Lamar Miller once again shouldering much of the load. The Pack will be looking at DeShone Kizer and Tim Boyle under center in this one and they also have a competition at RB with Kapri Bibbs and Dexter Williams. I think that LaFleur coaches for the victory today.

Green Bay Packers 10* play money line.
