00:02 I do think the 49ers win the game.

00:05 Hard for me to justify a spread pick here

00:07 because of that line movement on the Rams,

00:10 but I also kind of like the 49ers team total over

00:13 because I think they're gonna have

00:14 a lot of opportunities here.

00:16 - Lauren, a big ball game in Houston.

00:19 Houston are one and a half point favored,

00:21 two rookie quarterbacks in Stroud and Richardson.

00:25 Total is set at 39 and a half.

00:27 What do you see in this ball game?

00:29 - Yeah, it's almost a similar situation

00:32 to a stat that I mentioned last week.

00:34 I like to look at drives and efficiencies on those drives.

00:37 In the Indianapolis Colts last week,

00:39 they had 14 offensive drives

00:42 and they gained more than 10 yards

00:44 on only four of those 14 drives.

00:46 This was a team that was struggling

00:48 to consistently move the football.

00:50 And it's one thing with the Richardson short passing attack

00:54 that they developed last week to break it out week one

00:57 and catch everybody by surprise.

00:59 I think D'Amico Rines has now seen that film.

01:02 He understands a little bit better how to defend it.

01:04 I was impressed by the Texans run defense last week.

01:08 And while I do feel bad that they've got a couple of guys

01:11 out in their secondary and that could give Richardson

01:13 a little bit of an upside from a passing attack there,

01:15 I think the scheme that D'Amico is going to employ

01:18 is gonna be a little bit better.

01:19 There's been differing opinions on this one as well.

01:22 Some guys have come in.

01:23 We took the Texans earlier on some teaser legs

01:27 when they were catching points, point and a half,

01:29 got them up through the three and the seven.

01:31 But then these flip to favorite, a short favorite,

01:34 and now there's been some money coming in

01:36 on the Indianapolis Colts here.

01:38 So I think this is going to be a hotly contested game.

01:41 I almost went to bet the over on this one,

01:43 but now I see that CJ Stroud is starting for the Texans.

01:48 And the reason I don't like the over any longer,

01:50 though I think it could still hit,

01:52 is simply because of the coach speak that said,

01:54 "We wanna try to run the ball a little bit more.

01:56 "We gotta try to work on the ground game."

01:58 And his shoulder issue, are they going to be comfortable

02:01 having him throw the ball 50 plus times?

02:03 Now, obviously they don't want him to do that,

02:06 but that's what he did last week

02:07 against the Baltimore Ravens.

02:09 If they try to get a little bit more conservative,

02:10 that's my concern.

02:11 But the Indianapolis Colts, very up-tempo offense.

02:15 I think that there could be a sneaky shootout here.
