Thursday Night Football - Texans/Patriots
(NFL) Houston vs. New England,
Total: 41.00 | -107.00 Over
Result: Win
Play: Under
Rating: 8*

The New England Patriots looked great on the offensive side of the ball in last week's 31-24 victory against Miami. As long as Jimmy Garoppolo was on the field that is. The Pats third-string QB Jacoby Brissett was 6-of-9 passing for 92 yards with a fumble, and the 23 year old will face a tough task here when taking on the Houston Texans. While coach Bill Belichick is unlikely to declare it fact, Brissett is almost certainly the starter Thursday night as Tom Brady is suspended and Garoppolo troubled by a shoulder injury. Houston has much like New England started the season with back-to-back triumphs. The Texans have held the Bears and the Chiefs to a total of 26 points, and I predict a low-scoring contest at Foxborough Thursday night.
