2017 Week 3 NFL Picks & Predictions – Houston Texans @ New England Patriots Odds & Free Pick

The New England Patriots enter week 3 of the NFL season with a 1-1 overall record and 1-1 against the spread. The Patriots bounced back nicely from a week 1 loss at home to Kansas City by going on the road last week and beating the New Orleans Saints by a 36-20 score. The Patriots covered the -7 spread with ease.

New England future hall of fame quarterback Tom Brady was named the AFC Player of the Week after the Saints win. Brady threw for 436 yards and three touchdowns last week against the Saints and led the Patriots offense to 555 total yards. The offense has been dealing with a lot of injuries to it’s wide receivers but Brady was able to distribute the ball nicely to tight end Rob Gronkowski(6 receptions, 116 yards, 1 TD) and running back James White(8 receptions, 85 yards) to keep the chains moving.

The Patriots defense is still a work in progress and has performed subpar thru the first two weeks. The Patriots were gashed for 42 points and 537 yards against the Chiefs in week 1 and came back last week and allowed 429 yards and 20 points. The defense should get the services of it’s best defensive player and leader, linebacker Dont’a Hightower, this week.

The Houston Texans also comes into this week 3 NFL matchup with an overall record of 1-1 and 1-1 against the spread. The Texans redeemed themselves after an ugly 29-7 week 1 home loss to Jacksonville by going on the road and beating Cincinnati 13-9 as a +5.5 point underdog on Thursday, September 14th.

The Texans decided to roll with rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson for the Bengals game and he helped deliver a win. Watson was far from great as he ended up with a 75.9 quarterback rating and completed 15 passes on 24 attempts for just 125 yards passing. However, it was his 49 yard touchdown run just before the end of the 1st half that gave the Texans the lead and they never gave it up the rest of the game for the win.

The Texans are known having one of the top defenses in the NFL and they looked the part last week against the Bengals. The Texans defense gave up just 295 total yards to the Bengals and held them out of the end zone. The defense picked up 3 sacks and held Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton to just a 76.4 quarterback rating.

Who are we betting on to cover the spread in the Texans-Patriots week 3 NFL game? We are betting on Houston to cover as a +14 point favorite. The New England defense is simply not that good right now and could run into problems with Watson’s mobility. The Texans would love to make this an ugly, grind it out slugfest in order to give themselves a shot at stealing the game late with a rookie quarterback that’s not ready to win a shootout against Tom Brady. We think the Texans lose the game but it will be closer than the spread indicates. Bet on the Houston Texans +14 on the spread at Bovada.
