Don’t look now, but the Texans are cashing bets
Andrew Avery
Remember when the Houston Texans were bad? Well, they’re still bad, but they’re currently on a 3-0 run straight up and against the spread heading into Sunday’s meeting with the New Orleans Saints.
The defensive side of the ball has finally flexed its muscle after underperforming for much of the season. Over the course of those three wins, they’ve allowed just 29 points and have won outright as underdogs twice, including a 10-6 win over the previously unbeaten Cincinnati Bengals.
That solid denfense will be tested against the high-scoring Saints and an offense that ranks second in the NFL with an average of 414.5 yards.
The Texans are presently tabbed as 3-point home favorites.
