But the Texans have shown an ability to move the football in recent weeks, with Brian Hoyer settling in as the starter. With a 13-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio and a 97.1 QB rating, Hoyer has guided the team to at least 20 points in all six games that he’s played. It’s surely worth noting that he carved up the Bengals defense when he faced them with the Browns last year. And WR DeAndre Hopkins has emerged as an elite level downfield threat, despite Houston’s lack of a consistent running game.
I see both offenses slightly ahead of the defenses tonight. After opening a few points higher on most NFL odds boards, this total has been bet down to 46, there’s reasonable value to grab the Over with your NFL picks, expecting a relatively high scoring affair.
