Atlanta at Houston

Mike Vick vs. David Carr. Oh wait, I guess we’ll have to wait for that matchup. Instead, we’ll see the league’s two worst defenses face off. As I stated last week when I picked Houston over the Patriots, the Texans are an up-and-down club. They struggle to put back-to-back positive performances together. Now they are laying 3 points to an Atlanta team that has recently found some game. This is the first time all season that Houston has been favored. Last year it happened only once and they were plastered in that game by the Bengals 38-3. Doug Johnson put up his best numbers of the season last week against Tennessee which will give him enough confidence to play well this game. Close matchup so I’ll take the points.
