I most likely won't put money it this game but I believe Houston wins.

And what do you think the final score will be stretch?

Hou has gotten good (avg ~30pts over the last 4 games), but at home.. this will be a test of their strength on the road.. so far, no road wins.. are they due?

and Min comming off a bye and the dissapointing loss to Chi with a very high score.. should make them better.. but how much? although some teams have started losing off of byes.. so this stat is losing it's flavor..

so far i see Hou winning 30-24

Hou ML and over 46.

Schaub has been playing very well lately Texans offense has been playing lights out but the Texans dont really have a good defense so I think it will be a high yardage game. Only way it wont be high scoring is if AP and Slaton drain too much clock. I think they both have 100 yard rushing afternoons.

Texans should have beat the Colts and lost to Jaguars in OT. They are better than you are giving them credit for and still have a shot at the Wild-Card playoff spot. Easily could be 5-2...

Vikings barely beat the Lions and got outplayed against the Saints but won...Vikings could easily be 1-6....

I like the Texans in a close game here. I think the over under line is very well placed and could go either way. I bet its right around 46 scored but if I had to pick I would say unders just because of the running style both teams prefer to play with

Also I would like to say that I do a power rankings sheet every week after the monday night game, and I have these two teams right next to each other with the Texans one spot ahead of the Vikings...Should be a great game so you should definitely take the underdog as they are getting points (the Texans) not even to mention the fact that I like them outright to win

Think the juries still out on houston, they seem to be a middle of the pack team, losing to pretty good teams, playing the middle of the pack teams close (indy, jacksonville, miami) and beating bad teams (cincy, detroit). So i think itll be a close game with houston winning by 24-20

I think Minnesota has gotten their act together, and how Houston loves to give up points, Vikings should take this game. Minnesota 31, Houston 20. I think this is a best bet with the line being between 4-5. GL
