Houston at New England

Pittsburgh had the veteran leadership, but Houston had the dominating defense. The visiting Texans stomped all over the Steelers in a 30-6 win. Houston has won 10 in a row, along with a 10-5 spread run. They ran for 164 yards, 5.3 yards per carry, against the Steelers. The defense is No. 1 in yards allowed, second in points given up, ninth in sacks, and fifth on third down (34.89%). They're in the role of underdog, but have won four straight as a dog against Buffalo (23-19), at Indianapolis (20-16), at Kansas City (20-10), and at the Chargers (20-16). The Texans allowed an average of 15.25 points in those games, and three of those opponents had Top 12 offenses. New England's offense struggles against pressure teams. QB Drake Maye was sacked 47 times during the regular season, then dropped five more times last week against the Chargers. Play Houston.
