Green Bay at Houston

Houston won a game in Romeo Crennel's first game as interim coach as often happens after a head coach has been fired, but the Texans went back to their losing ways as Tennessee defeated them 42-36 in overtime last week. Derrick Henry ran all over the Houston defense for 212 yards, and the Titans racked up 601 yards of total offense. That doesn't bode well this week against Green Bay, which not only is averaging 32.4 points and is #7 in the NFL in yards gained, but the Packers will be in an ornery mood after being embarrassed by Tom Brady and the Buccaneers on Sunday. Green Bay lost three games in coach Matt LaFleur's first season in 2019, and each time the Packers bounced back with a win and cover, winning by an average of 12 points. Houston is #31 in rushing yardage per game, and the Texans are dead last defensively allowing an average of 177 yards on the ground. Green Bay is 10-1 ATS its last 11 games following an ATS loss, and the Texans are 4-9 ATS their last 13 home games. Also, the Texans have not covered their last six games as underdogs dating to last season. Play the Packers.
