Both teams are dealing with key injuries but on Andre Johnson day in Houston I'm expecting the Texans to get over the hump. Look for a dominant performance from Jadeveon Clowney. Lay the small number.
I've been looking to fade the Texans ever since J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus went down, but now the Cardinals are dealing with their own rash of injuries: at left tackle, causing an O-line shuffle; at safety, where Tyvon Branch had graded out as a top-five player at his position; and possibly at quarterback, with Drew Stanton dealing with a knee injury. Tom Savage didn't look great on Sunday, but we're getting points with either Stanton at less than 100 percent or Blaine Gabbert on the road. That's enough for me to play the Texans.
