Schaub is out but stats tells me that Houston's Rushing offense and strong defense is enough to cover Jacksonville by 3.5

Matt L can be called a bust soo far in tha NFL, but i will take a HOT team with a BOMB running game and top D over a rookie QB anytime of tha day at such a low number.

For the first time, since being in the NFL, Matt will be playing in an offense similar to the one he ran at USC.  You will not see too much of a dropoff from Schaub.  Texans should win by 10-14.

........oh, and Andre Johnson will be back.  Texans to the bank.

Texans start their playoff push now..  Win with a big dose of Foster and solid Defense.

Hou 23 - Jax 17

This is a huge gift, Johnson back for the deep threat will give some running room. Houston for 3 units. Houston is stopping the run, I dont think Jacksonville will get more than 7. 

HOUSTON  - 3.5 (Major  Wager!!)  

O.K. Leinart - time to step up.......

A.J.'s coming back, you've got Arian Foster, and you're playing the Jaguars - - this should be just like practice where you play the "B" defense - - but with the "A" offense.......

Texans -3.5

  Houston ML

HOU -3.5 (1.5u) - Houston coming off of a bye, giving a very good defense extra time to prepare for an extremely weak offense. Altho Shaub's out, i'm looking for the veteran Leinart to pick the Jag D apart.  SCORE: Texans 21 - Jaguars 9

- HOU defence ranked #1

- Andre Johnson should back

- Arian foster is unreal

- Lienart is alot better than Gabbert

HOUSTON -3.5 looks good!!

Jags +7 (-120)  Leinart has to prove he's a nfl qb which so far he's shown he isn't.  Under 37.5 also.  GLTA. 

we won't see the offense drop off much as Kubiak's system will allow Matt to have wide open receivers in the short and intermediate routes.  Texans should win this by more than a td

Hope everyone is having a winning week as well, we absolutely pummeled  it Saturday night on hoops, cashing multiple units.

I'd be careful with this game.  Just look at this board - public is all over Houston.  Line's been bet way up.  And sometimes the big public plays work out, like Houston in college Friday.  Not sold on Leinart on any level.  Leinart plus big public action means likely a no play for me.

Jags are just Brutal in the pass game this is where they will struggle yet again , i can't believe the line is as low as this , especially off the bye week for the Texans , Leinart won't have to do to much here they still have plenty of weapons and an outstanding run game which the jags struggle against, texans might win this one going away .

taking houston-6 for 5 c notes.  Gabbert stinks.

Houston it is. Jax who? and the Under game for new QB.. Been going under like that for the past few weeks..

jax +6

JACS.

Texans. I can hand off the ball and win this game.

One dimensional teams dont last long when the QB goes out IE: Colts or having a team with a solid D that cant produce points.Fortunately this does not apply to Houston with 2 top notch rock carriers and one of the top pass/run Ds in system.Now is a good a time as any for the backup to come in and get going.The O and D will step up their games to make this transition easier and pull out a division victory at the same time.BoL all and enjoy the game!

Lots of love for the Texans here, and I'm on board.  Just don't see any reason they don't cover the small chalk ?  

tex first half - 3.5

teams appear slow coming off a bye week.  However, I  expect the same 10 pt output fm the Jags this week.  The under looks solid as well'.  small play on the tex/under
