Taking the PATRIOTS here. How can we not take this team off a terrible game? Yeah, they covered a huge number. But what a sloppy game. And let's be perfectly honest. That Texans defense is no joke. If they had a little better QB and if their WRs could hold on to some balls, maybe they are home instead of hosting. So Pats with an extra day of rest while Steelers off a late Sunday night thriller over KC. As much as I love the Big Ben, Bell and Brown trio, the truth is Big Ben has been very average on the road. As in 9TDs and 9INTs on the road this year. Pats at home needing less than a touchdown to cover. Maybe it is too easy, but I have to back this HC/QB combo. 4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
