(Rotation #460) Houston +2 ? The Texans are sort of in a make or break type of week. They know that they are going to be at least an average team this year, but they have to prove that they can beat a team that is above-average at some point, too. Philadelphia certainly is that team, and it is coming off of a loss in the desert to the Cardinals that will surely sting for some time to come. The Eagles haven't played nearly as well on the road as they have at home in the Chip Kelly era, and they tend to make big mistakes in games like these. It goes without saying that the Eagles have been lucky with all of their defensive and special teams touchdowns, and the sharp bettors out there are hoping that QB Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't going to be baited into too many mistakes in this game.

(Rotation #452) Miami -1.5 ? Last week, we suggested that the Saints were the right side to play in a very similar type of a game. The Chargers are coming to the East Coast, and though they have been a bit of the exception to the rule in terms of performance, West Coast teams still tend to struggle in these 1:00 p.m. ET games, even against modest clubs like Miami. The Dolphins though, do seem to have found their stride just a bit, and they are playing like a team again after there were some rough patches in the last month or so. QB Philip Rivers has been fantastic, but the Chargers ground game has once again come to a grinding halt. If the Dolphins can slow their running game once again, the secondary is good enough to give Rivers and the Bolts fits.

(Rotation #474) New York +3.5 ? This stat is well-advertised at this point - The Colts are 8-0 SU and ATS in games following double-digit losses throughout the Andrew Luck era. At this point though, what we're seeing is insane. The Giants are at a crossroads of their season. If they can win this game and get back to .500, there is a really good chance that they can go on a run in the games ahead and get back into the playoff picture. If they lose this game and fall to 3-5, the chances of survival are slim and none, and Head Coach Tom Coughlin will probably once again have his job up in the air. Indy isn't an unflappable team entirely, and we might see that come Monday night.
