The Atlanta Falcons are undefeated heading into a home game against Houston this Sunday, and they are asked to cover a bunch of points in this one. Houston is coming off it's first win of the season, and I think this team can build off that momentum here in Atlanta this week.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Houston Running Game - The Texans ran all over the Buccaneers last week, and Alfred Blue totaled 139 yards and a TD on 31 carries. The Falcons gave up four rushing TDs in their win over Dallas last week.
2. Injuries - The Falcons will be without RB Tevin Coleman (ribs), TE Jacob Tamme (concussion) and S Ricardo Allen (knee), and WR Devin Hester for Sunday's game versus Houston. Jadeveon Clowney is expected to play for Houston despite a shoulder injury.
3. X-Factor - Rumor out of the Texans camp is that Arian Foster might see action for the first time this season, coming back from a groin injury.
Selection: This is a play on the Houston Texans (8*)
