Houston (3-1) comes in off a 27-20 win against the Tennessee Titans at home. The accolade does not boast much considering how maligned the AFC South is as a whole. The Titans are most likely the worst of the bunch and Houston’s 27-0 loss at New England two weeks ago is still speaking sharply to many.

Houston Texans at Minnesota Vikings Prediction
There is not a team in all the NFL with higher stock right now than the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings defeated the New York Giants on Monday night remaining undefeated at 4-0. Almost always the winner of a featured primetime game is prone to an overreaction next week, especially when that team boasts an impressive record and resume season-to-date. Minnesota has taken down Green Bay and Carolina as to round off some of their more noteworthy victims. As a result, the Vikings are going to see heavy action from most of the public and the price reflects the market’s play on general perception of this team. The Vikings are likely spotting more points than necessary and this can also be chalked up to the fact Minnesota is playing this one at home as well. Houston is 3-1 for a reason, many should not be so quick to forget that Houston has plenty of weapons in their own right. However, regardless of whether Minnesota wins or not, the amount of takers willing to lay heavy juice on the Vikings outright is alarming enough to lay the team certainly in an against-the-spread scenario. Expect the Texans to keep this one close.
