12-12 on the season so far...I look more at profit than win/loss records though because I take money line underdog selections once in awhile.
Anyway, I'm taking the bait and selecting the Cowboys against the Texans. I waited too long and the line moved up a couple of points already. I very, very rarely, if ever, recommend buying a half point, but I also did that as well in this spot. The Texans are a bad team with a sugar coating over their crap. They really should have lost that last game against Buffalo, likely if not for a JJ Watt INT TD to start the 2nd half. I really don't like backing the Cowboys after a big home win and now as a decent home favorite. However, they really match up well against the Texans. Houston struggles to stop the run game, and they also have a secondary that can get exposed if the opposing QB has time to throw the ball. Dallas will be able to do both of those, and I just don't see the Texans run focused offense being able to score much in this game. I think the Cowboys have a great deal of momentum heading into this game. They will likely piss it away at some point this season, but I don't think that time is here.
DALLAS -5.5 (-120, bought 1/2 point)
ST LOUIS +7
I think Philadelphia will get exposed here for average team that they are. They almost pulled out a lucky win against the 49ers with several special teams and defensive TD's. St. Louis is coming off of a bye as well. I think the Rams will keep this game close, but I wouldn't be surprised if they won outright actually.
