Take #454 Falcons over Texans
(NFL) Houston vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -130.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
Two teams heading in opposite directions will meet on Sunday when the red-hot Houston Texans visit the struggling Atlanta Falcons. After an 0-2 start, Houston (2-2) has won two straight games behind a suddenly potent offense led by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. In last week's impressive 30-6 win over Pittsburgh, Stroud passed for 306 yards and two touchdowns. He also set an NFL rookie record by not throwing an interception in his first 151 pass attempts. Through four games, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 draft has passed for 1,212 yards and six touchdowns. Only Cam Newton (1,386 yards in 2011) has more yards than Stroud through the air in his first four games as a first-year player. Atlanta has 13 points last 2 games against Jacksonville and Detroit, they have to bounce-back at some point, we actually think this game goes over, but when Atlanta is favored, and wins, the game has a tendency to go under, we do think Atlanta wins. Houston is dynamic, but Atlanta is desperate, and we think they come through today.
