Houston at Philadelphia

Houston has been a good road team over the past few seasons. A lot of that good fortune has to do with their defense. Philadelphia has played better lately, but they have for the most part struggled against the good teams either home or away. Most teams seem to thrive when placed in the underdog role at home, but Philly has not. They have been just 4-8 ATS against .500+ teams in this role. While Philly has struggled, Houston has thrived in this role. The Rockets have been 7-2 ATS as a road favorite vs. sub .500 teams. We will ride the road-favored Rockets here.
