    Texans line going up, Advice please....

    I already have (1) unit on them +1.
    and (2) units on them -1.

    Want at least 2-3 more units on them now seeing that the line is up to -2.

    Question is, should I wait for the line to go down, or bet now before it goes possibly higher..

    Thanks in advance.

    Tough to tell. I like the Texans myself, but if/when LJ signs the line could move accordingly.

    The QB situation in KC could also have an impact. If Croyle does indeed get the nod, I think the number will only grow as I can't see the public jumping on a second-year QB making his first career start on the road only getting 2 pts.

    I'm assuming that LJ is going to sign, that's seemed to be the consensus in KC, but it's dragging on longer than I thought. I would imagine that would move the line back a bit, but maybe not that much if everyone is assuming the same.

    I think Houston should be improved this year, and I definitely side with them as well in this game.

    As rjt721 mentions, I think the # on this game will probably depend most on whom they select as starting QB in KC. I drove through KC last week and got some sports talk radio and they aren't real high on Croyle there. I suppose it all depends on where Herm wants to take this team this year versus the next few.


    I've been doing some week 1 research, I'll have some more in a few days.

    Home team dogs, or teams that are percieved as the worse team (-2.5 or worse) have done well ATS all time in week one.

    Home team dogs are 63-52-5 ATS in week one since 1985. That wouldn't apply here at the moment, since i've used the closing lines. However, home dogs have done better versus teams that had a winning record the previous season: 23-14 ATS (kc was 9-7 last season)

    I will look into the #'s on small favorites this week.

    LJ signed. Line should go back to -1 or ML now.. Hopefully.

    WHY would you put less nits on +1 and more units on -1?

    if texans win, it won't matter...but I fail to see the logic here
