Houston Texans
Opponent: at Minnesota Vikings
Line: HOU (+6.5)
Believe me, picking against the Vikings, arguably the hottest team in the NFL right now, doesn't thrill me. But with the Texans being spotted a touchdown in some places, they're hard to pass up. That's because, while Minnesota's defense is smothering teams right now, the offense isn't built for huge blowouts. They are the middle of the road (17th) in scoring offense, and their four wins have come by nine, three, 12 and 14 points. The offensive line has been especially problematic, ranking dead last in adjusted sack rate allowed, while the Texans' D-line ranks sixth-best in the same category. I expect Minnesota to come away still undefeated, but the projected low-scoring battle (over/under 40) should be a tight one. (Getty)
