00:00It's time to look ahead and see what's in store for the Sunday slate.

00:08Now a number of games that are worth a circle and I think that this is one of them that

00:13I have to start with.

00:14It's going to be the Houston Texans versus the Green Bay Packers spread starting at that

00:17two and a half and then the total sitting at 47 and a half.

00:21Tom and I started talking about these games on Monday night, maybe the main ones that

00:25we found exciting, but now there should be more to the lines, more to the props, more

00:29to everything else.

00:30So Tom, let's dive back into this.

00:32What do we think of the Texans versus Packers matchup coming down the slate this Sunday?

00:36Yeah, obviously it's shaping up to be one of the games of the week.

00:39Like it reminds me of what we saw from Commander's Ravens last week.

00:44Like this is what we should be seeing.

00:45Two great teams, two teams that are largely healthy for the most part, obviously no Nico

00:49Collins for the Texans immediately jumping into some of the lines.

00:53The Tank Dell line sitting at 62 and a half for the Texans just seems like a touch too

00:58high.

00:59And, you know, personally I'm invested in Tank Dell longterm.

01:02Like I think he's a phenomenal talent, just the lines a little bit high.

01:06And that's what it comes down to when we still have Steph Diggs there.

01:08I think they're going to try and move the ball with Nixon officially on the ground.

01:13I just don't know how much we're going to get from Tank Dell.

01:15You know, considering we do it, but we have a good defense on the Packers side of things.

01:18I'm not going to say it's amazing.

01:19It's not terrible.

01:20Like it's a good defense.

01:21So 62 and a half, I kind of lean on the under if he starts off a little bit slow and we

01:26do see the Texans fall behind.

01:28And then we see a Tank Dell number in the forties, mid forties.

01:32That's where I think we can take an over because then we put into a passing game script.

01:35So I think it's business as usual for the Packers side of things.

01:39They have so many options.

01:40It's kind of tough to pick.

01:41Oh, it's going to be a big read week.

01:42Oh, it's going to be a big Dobbs week.

01:44They just have too many options sometimes.

01:46So nothing jumps off the page as of now.

01:48Yeah, but they're all good.

01:50They're all good.

01:51That's what it comes down to.

01:52Yeah.

01:53Which is true, which is also why this makes it such a good matchup.

01:55And I like the comparison to the Commander's Ravens because you have that team that can

01:58try to claw back in because the talent is there.

02:00So it's going to be interesting.

02:02Obviously, the spread speaks to how close this game can potentially be.

02:05But most importantly, probably where I would navigate is kind of some of the receptions

02:09and stuff, because we know what the attempts are going to look like.

02:11We know the key players that there might try to go to.

02:14But once Diggs shows his reliability and starts building chemistry with his quarterback, he

02:18kind of becomes that key guy, whether that's a few chunk plays or finding the end zone.

02:22So a number of things to navigate with the Texans and the Packers coming up Sunday.
