00:00Then you've got Houston taking on Indy. This conversation, this matchup always

00:09entertains me because you got Richardson who has, you know, who's coming off of

00:12injury. We have to see if he is gonna be able to prove all the expectations on

00:16his shoulders. I know I've said a number of times UF doesn't really produce

00:19quarterbacks. Sorry guys. And then you've got TJ Stroud coming off an immaculate

00:23rookie season. Now he has even more pressure on his shoulders to build off

00:27of that. He's added a few weapons to his offense. What are you seeing in this one?

00:31I'm seeing this as a huge matchup because it's a divisional matchup to

00:35start the season, but I am very high on the Texans this season. I have a Super

00:41Bowl ticket on them at 25 to 1. Currently they are 15 to 1, so I got them in a

00:46great price. I'm gonna be going with a Tank Dell touchdown in this one at plus

00:50220. Coming back from the injury that he has, I know this is a loaded offense with

00:55Nico Collins. They bring in Steph Diggs. There's a lot going on and this offense

00:58is gonna be similar to kind of what we see with the Packers. Like just because I

01:01think Nico Collins is amazing and I have the over on his season-long receiving

01:05yards. Some games are not gonna be a Nico Collins game because Diggs is gonna be

01:09having an awesome game and Tank Dell and Joe Mixon coming out of the backfield.

01:11That's what we're gonna get from some of these offenses this year. It's like

01:14directionally we can be right and say, okay, this offense can put up four

01:18touchdowns, five touchdowns, all these yards. It's just not this player. So I

01:22want to start off with Tank Dell coming back from the injury. We saw him flashing

01:26in preseason, connecting that connection with CJ Stroud. I think Stroud

01:29himself is in for another amazing year. I'll take the Texans over 48 and a half

01:34and minus two and a half in this game. I love that a lot too because one of the

01:38things that Texans were missing was having a consistent run game last season.

01:42So now you have an opportunity to kind of establish that a lot stronger and

01:45then you've got some other Bulldogs coming off the edge. They're adding

01:49pressure to their defense, which is gonna help them be able to contend. I

01:52mean that was kind of the issue. They had a spotty defense. They weren't able to

01:55compete down the stretch when those matters and I think that they're

01:58gonna be able to come up strong in that category as well. I'm all in on the

02:01Texans. I had them being a surprise team to roll into the Super Bowl as well.
