Panthers VS. Texans Predictions
Since the lines opened, Houston has shifted from being -3 point favorites to their current line of -3.5 (-105).
After struggling to move the ball in the passing game against New Orleans, I’m not expecting much from Houston this week. This is why I’m leaning toward Carolina as a 3.5-point underdog.
