I think you can attribute this to Jonathan Joseph being out for such a big chunk of the year. He is listed as questionable, but I'm not sure if he will be a 100% either way.
Sammy, When were you ever "more than happy" to lose your money? You stuck your foot in your mouth with the "not too often" statement. What you say is very true. Listen to yourself....why is it happening now? The public is all over Houston I presume because the line has come in from +4.5 to +3.........my belief is that the smart folks grabbed the +4.5. I'm playing Houston and the ML...... BOL

The Texans are an impressive 6-0 on the road this year. Its so tough to win on the road in this league, especially at New England. The Pats haven't lost at home since that fluke game against Arizona in week 2. I think Belicheck will have his defense ready to stop the Texans offense that relies primarily on the playaction. The playaction is really only effective when a team is running the ball well. I think the Pat's 9th ranked rush defense will come to play in a Monday night setting, and that Houston might find themselves in 3rd and long situations quite a bit on Monday night.
My prediction is the Patriots hand the Texans their first road loss, and that Belicheck tries to send a message like he did to the Colts earlier this year. He definitely likes big statement wins over teams that he will possibly see again in the playoffs. Obviously, I don't think this will be a huge blowout. But it wouldn't shock me if the Pats won this by 13 or more points.
Not too often you can get the Pats -3 at home without the public being all over them!! I will be more than happy to bet New England for my first time this season.
Good luck!
Great angle.......I guess Mondays are a preferred day of the week for the Pats? I suppose Houston is due for a letdaown because of it. Please advise 
"Brady gonna show why they are still the best team in football"??? Are you sure about that? Do you remember last years Super Bowl? Perhaps the Superbowl they played in when they were the best team in football........ undefeated..........rings a bell. Go ahead and bet the Pats. It will be Monday night and they will be the best.
Texans are a dog in this one. I think they come out fighting
