Cincy ML +185



SNF******LOCK EM UP************** HOUSTON +1.5

The Texans enter this contest knowing they are 4-0 SUATS in games against opponents off a win of 30 or more points under head coach Gary Kubiak. The 51-20 victory by Chicago over Tennessee last week was the most points ever tallied by the Bears under head coach Lovie Smith. Not a good omen for the Windy City crew considering they are 0-6 ATS in games after scoring more than 40 points under Lovie Smith. And not comforting considering Chicago mustered only 358 yards in the win over the Titans. Our database points out the fact that the Texans stand tall in non-conference games against opponents off a pair of wins, going 7-0-1 ATS in its franchise history. Meanwhile, Smith is 1-5 SUATS in games against greater than .785 opponents during the 2nd half of the season, and 0-6 ATS in his career in games after topping the 40-point barrier the previous game. Looking inside the numbers, Houston also brings the better offense and the better defense into this battle. Behind the best sack team in the league (Oilers +15 net), look for embattled Bears QB Jay Cutler to fall to 7-17 ATS in his career as a favorite against .400 or greater opposition this evening as the Houston largesse continues.
