Culpepper in 2000. 2nd year in league. first start. started 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS.

Flacco and Matty Ice in 2008. true rookies. this list is building.

Ok fair enough. so with that in mind. What do you guys think about TJ Yates in this position against the Falcons?? From my prospective vegas certainly believes houston has a more than a decent shot to win this game. Line has stayed steady for 2-3 days with my local at atl -3 @-105

I just dont get it. Im either really under estimating houstons defense and their run game along with their O-LINE. OR Im thinking about this to much and should just take Atl with an amount im comfortable with. No-way I can convince myself to take houston in this position.
