Hey guys. Just wanted some input from you guys regarding the Falcons/Texans line. Texans will struggle to move the ball, while Atlanta has a good offense and a great run defense. This line seems like it should be more like -10. Opinions encouraged. Good luck everyone.

I don't care who they're up against ATL should never be -10 on the road.

I respectfully disagree. What do you believe this line should be? Can you provide me with a couple reasons why Houston should be only a 1 point dog.

i agree with you spartacus. i took the falcons a couple days ago when they were -3, i was afraid it was gonna go to -3.5 or -4. 

then the line moves to -1, are people really liking houston here?

i think the falcons are a solid squad with no blatant weakness, up against a texans team that has Yates as QB...

See above me, Houston has the top ranked defense along with a superior rushing attack, obviously no QB, and Atlanta is a dome team.....I personally like Falcons.

Texans far from best defense. The Falcons Team Total is just as fishy as the line.

Atlanta TT 20

over +100

Defense, special team, running game is not enough to beat a very hot ATL team.

ATL is the play....just don't overthink this one.

I am completely confident that Atlanta can score 21+ points. Houston defense is going to be on the field a lot, and I like Atlanta strong recievers to cause trouble all day.

This line is killing me though. I'm tempted to throw nickle on the game and on Atl TT over 20 at +100. What do you guys think?

Very hard to back Atlanta on the road. Texans has a solid defense and a good running game, leaning towards Houston.

I never said the line should be -1 here, I referred to ATL on the road in general. This year they've faced DET, IND, SEA and TB on the road, no top D's there. So even if these teams are dead even the line should be HOU-3 maybe even HOU-4. If either of HOU's top 2 QB's were in they would be the better team and the line might be -4 to -6. So you think just b/c Yates is starting the line should be ATL-10? C'omon now. Thats a 13-16 point swing!
Yates is more mobile than either of the Matt's and HOU should be able to come up with a solid game-plan, mixing between runs, screens and trying to get AJ involved with the odd mid/deep pass.

ATL only managed 13 points in week 2, on the road vs TB after a big home win in week 1. Don't be so confident they put up points @HOU facing a much better D than TB

I think Hou. can win this SU, just cause' Yates is starting doesn't mean an automatic win for Atl.

Houston may be the #1 ranked defense in the league, but lets not forget they played Jacksonville twice, Indy once, the dolphins, the browns, the titans, and the bucs. 

the only legit teams they have played would be New Orleans, Oakland, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh, and they only beat Pittsburgh, but that was with Schaub.

Falcons line is fishy? what about GB -6 at the Giants...

Houston wins this game on the ground. ATL is inconsistent on the road.

LOL I hate people that bet based on past stats. the line makers are scared of Houston bottom line. I'm siding with Vegas.

Loll!!!  Thought the same thing.  Very tough to cap this game -- could go either way in a solid manner.  ATL is hot, but HOU at home with their D = no play for me.
