The Texans vs. Steelers spread was coming in at Pittsburgh -3 with that number steady across the board. The line move was nonexistent as books were reporting balanced action for this Monday Night Football game.
Houston got off to a great start this season, but has now lost two straight games and three of the past four and a lot of that has to do with starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrtick's numbers - 1,268 pass yards, 6 TD, 6 INT - and the team's inability to gain yards through the air.
On the other side of the ball will be the Pittsburgh Steelers and wide receiver Antonio Brown, whose fantasy value this week should be red hot. Brown has yet to post below 84 yards in a game this season.
LeVeon Bell should be another hot fantasy commodity this week. He managed 4.6 yards per carry and 100 total yards last week in an otherwise dreadful performance for the Steelers.
Houston’s Arian Foster has been on fire this season, topping 100 yards in each of the four games. Last week, the Steelers got beat up by a Browns team for 158 rushing yards.
Pittsburgh used to be easy money in home games but that hasn’t been the case in recent years where they are 11-7 Straight Up at home and that number is reverted Against The Spread.
The Texans are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 Monday Night Football games.
