Houston -6

Yeah, Carolina is Scrappy, but the Texans have a lot to still play for. Houston will easily win this game by a touchdown.

Another note:

I wanted to be all over New England, figuring they'd be like 3 point favorites. Whoa -- 8 points? I guess the oddsmakers had this one figured out. Staying away.

new england opened at -4, public moved it to were it is now, obviously bad value on new england now

as for houston, do you think yates can produce enough points to cover a spread that big? they are playing a carolina team that can put up points on the board and yates will have to do 7 points better than that

Yates hasn't looked bad.. Carolina's D is sooo awful.. the texans will be able to run the ball all day long even with a stacked box which will make things much easier for him. Not to mention Texans D should be able to keep Carolina's offense from going off. I could see the Texans covering here.
