The Patriots come into this game as slight underdogs, and will not be pleased at having lost their first preseason game to Jacksonville. The Patriots had another stellar season last year, going 17-2 and winning the Super Bowl. They are now an incredible 45-11 over the past 3 seasons, building an 18-7 record during that run. They were not the road dog very often, but when they were, they went 4-1. The Houston Texans went 10-8 last season, eventually losing in the Divisional Round in the postseason. They have been a solid 28-23 since 2014, which includes an impressive 18-8 record in their own building. They have been particularly good as a home favorite over the past 3 seasons, compiling the best record in the NFL at 15-2.Point Spread Stats
If you had bet the Patriots ATS in each of their games in 2016, you would have made a tidy profit, as they went 16-3. They are a slight 1.5-point underdog for this one on the road. They were not quite as impressive on the road, going just 14-11 ATS since 2014, although they did go 4-1 as a road underdog, which may serve them well for this one.
The Texans struggled a little ATS last season, going 7-10-1, which took their 3-year record to 25-24-2, making them a coin flip choice at best. They were a little better at home, going 14-11-1 since 2014, and were particularly good as a home favorite, where they went 11-5-1. The records of these two teams make the ATS bet a tough one to call.
