Houston at New England 8:25 ET
Patriots (+) over Texans- This by all accounts should be a slugfest with the Patriots forced to start rookie Jacoby Brissett at quarterback and the Texans have the 3rd best scoring defense in the NFL allowing just 26 points in two games. Last season it was Houston with the quarterback problems and now they have Brock Osweiler leading the way and New England will have to come up big on defense. Houston head coach Bill O'Brien coached under Bill Belichick in New England from 2007-11. The Patriots have a 5-1 series edge including a 27-6 win at Houston. Texans haven't improved that much. Take NEW ENGLAND!
