Why is this such a bad bet looking around the forums everyone thinks this is a HORRIBLE bet?

I know the pats are Juggernauts on the grass but till Texas aren't too bad themselves.

By the way loving the forums and look forward to betting with all of you

Pats play on Field Turf, not grass. Pats cover IMO. Too many weapons on offense, Houston's run game will be shut down forcing them to throw. Schaub stinks. You get the point. 38-17 Pats.

That's the American price format, +103 would convert to 2.03 btw.

Welcome to the forum Aussie.

I don't think the Texans are such a bad bet. Teams coming off the bye week have only been so so SU and ATS the last few years. I am on the other side (just rooting) but good luck anyway!
