Current Odds:
Houston Texans -3
Washington Redskins 42.5

The Texans’ lead in the AFC South stands at one game ahead of Tennessee in the midst of a straight-up six-game winning streak. This is a dramatic reversal from a 0-3 SU start as part of an overall record of 4-5 against the spread. Houston has been able to cover in its last three games, including a 19-17 road win against Denver its last time out as a slight one-point underdog. The total has stayed UNDER Elite-rated VietBet’s closing line in four of its last five games.

Deshaun Watson struggled with consistency earlier in the season, but he has turned in a few stellar performances in recent weeks. Overall, he has thrown for 2,389 yards in his first nine starts with 17 touchdown passes. DeAndre Hopkins remains his favorite target in the passing game and Lamar Miller continues to lead the way on the ground for an offense that is averaging 24 points per game.

Washington has a two-game lead in the NFC East at 6-3 SU following Sunday’s 16-3 grinder over Tampa Bay as a 3.5-point road underdog. The Redskins have posted a 4-1 mark both SU and ATS in their last five contests with the total staying UNDER VietBet’s closing line in four of those games. They are 3-2 at home this season both SU and ATS.

Veteran quarterback Alex Smith continues to do play well enough on an offense that is 25th in the NFL in passing. Veteran running back Adrian Peterson has been the leading force for a ground game that improves to 10th in rushing yards per game (121.2). The biggest change from last season is the inspired play from a defense that is tied for fourth in the NFL in points allowed (19.4).

The Redskins continue to find ways to win the majority of their games. However, they are going to have a tough time keeping pace with the well-rested Texans this Sunday afternoon. Lay the points and take Houston to cover.
