The Texans are only +2 b/cz they have a superb running game, upper echelon defense, and they're undefeated at home. Having said that, at the end of the day, the it'll be a tie game.

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...
lol.. il give you a weakness without even speaking of matchups. ATL is prone to be  garbage on the road.

i definitely agree with you, they are a completely different team on the road compared to in the dome. But still, Atlanta should get the job done. It wont be too hard to stop Foster and Tate cause Atlanta knows Yates isnt gonna beat them. Jacksonville hung around with them most of the game, and they arent nearly the team Atlanta is.

They are ranked #2 in the whole league at 82 ypg. What do you want? I guess #1

I believe this statement is down right foolish. Atlanta has a great offense which has been playing well as of late. They are ranked #2 in the league in run defense. They will load the box and force Yates to throw, and I jsut don't see him being successful doing so. Atlanta is 3-2 on the road this year. Texans have fluffed up defensive stats thanks to playing terrible offenses Jacksonville, Indy, Miami, Cleveland, Tampa Bay. If you think Foster will be able to successfully run the ball against the #2 ranked run defense when they stack the box with 8 then so be it, but I just don't think he can. Good luck which ever way you go. This line scares me, but I still bit.

Good points.  As I've looked at this game I noticed 38 o/u.  I believe both teams will be opening up thier plans to score early.  Atl has shown they can come back but Houston is in a different position. Looking for a backdoor over as I expect Houston to attempt to score and hold the lead then Atl come back to catch the win through the air.  Well that's my 2.  Thk and GL

The line is this "low" due to Houston's defense and that they are at home. Plain and simple.

Their defense can keep them in this game. 

The problem is their QB. Can Yates be effective enough for Houston to win this game?

...and this is the reason line was "fishy".

Defense did enough to win this game at home.
