This is a 10* play on the Houston Texans.

The Texans come into Steel Town tonight off back to back losses, but both came in close games against tough opponents. The Steelers have the same 3-3 record as Houston, but their losses have come against the likes of Tampa Bay, Cleveland and Baltimore. None of their three wins this year have come against teams with a winning record (Cleveland, Carolina and Jacksonville).

The Steel Curtain isn't what it used to be, as Pittsburgh's defense ranks in the bottom half of the league allowing opponents to average 111 yards per game. These stats could be a lot worse if they hadn't played such a soft schedule. Of their six games so far, only one of those came against a team that currently has a winning record.

Ben Roethlisberger really struggled in a 31-10 loss to Cleveland last Sunday, completing just 21-of-42 passes for 228 yards with just one TD and an INT. He could be under even more pressure tonight with Jadeveon Clowney is set to make his return to the lineup.

Arian Foster has run for 266 yards and four TDs in his last two games, and he could have a big night against a struggling Steelers defense. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has been pretty brutal honestly, but he was able to throw for 212 yards and a TD without any INTs in the loss to the Colts last Thursday, and if he can do that again tonight the Texans will be in good shape.

I wouldn't be surprised if this game comes right down to the wire, but I'll take the visitors getting the points.

Take HOU.
