Texans at Steelers
(NFL) Texans (HOU) vs. Steelers (PIT),
Point Spread: 2.50 | -110.00 Steelers (PIT) (Home)
Result: Loss
Houston suits up for a second time in August after last week's lightning-shortened HOF Game loss to the Bears...though that's not always a foolprooof indicator of subsequent success. CJ Stroud and the starters will get some work this week after they didn't a week ago, but focus here also on Steelers QB Justin Fields, who gets the start as Russell Wilson rests with a slight calf strain. We also like the thought of UCF rookie John Rhys Plumlee, who likely gets work in the second half, and just the type of mobile QB who flourishes in August. This is also a vote for Mike Tomlin, who plays preseason games to win, as he's done nine straight in August, covered the last six and eight of nine, and also won six straight preseason lid-lifters.
