Whenever the Kansas City Chief host the Houston Texans (1:00 P.M ET, CBS), they will expect that Patrick Mahomes ankle is okay. He was restricted although he managed to play through a high ankle sprain. A weeks loss to the Colts was the first time the Chiefs offense was held to under 26 points together with Mahomes. He states so we are going to have to take him at his 17, that his arm is nice.
The Chiefs are hopeful that Tyreek Hill may perform Sunday but theres been no confirmation as yet. He did practice and there is a possibility hell be prepared to go against the Texans.
The significance for this offense of hill cant be understated even though theyve performed well in his absence. Sammy Watkins has been the Chiefs top wide receiver at Hills lack but may not perform because of a hamstring injury.
In Week 4, I had mentioned that I believed Deshaun Watson looked like a top 10 quarterback and climbing. Against the Falconshe threw for 426 yards and five touchdowns. He is well on his way, while he can have something to improve before he could be considered elite. This match between the Texans and the Chiefs will be a battle of the top two quarterbacks in the 2017 draft (Mitch Trubisky has been picked #2 but that guide isnt about the Bears and their mistakes).
When it comes to throwing downfield this match promises to be a shootout with two. The Chiefs pass rush will need to put pressure because the Texans have the firepower to get a win.
This line opened at Chiefs -7.5 and the total in 55 depending on where you go shopping. The total hasnt seen much movement however, the spread has moved all the way down to Chiefs. The money is because of their offensive weekly showing. So the belief that Texans can place a great deal of things in Kansas City up is legitimate the Chiefs defense is not very good.
Add to this the concerns on Mahomes high ankle sprain and theres been a lot of money taking the things.
?? 4 of Texans that the last 5 games on the street have gone Over
?? Texans are 1-4 SU the last 5 games against the Chiefs
?? 9 of the Chiefs have gone Through
?? Chiefs are 12-4 SU at home in their final 16 games in the home
My selection for this match
Over 55 (-107) in 5Dimes
While the spread has moved into the Texans favor, Id be much more comfy at +7.5 compared to +4. One poor game in the Chiefs in the road doesnt make me lose faith, while I do believe the Texans could win outright. They are among the greatest clubs in the league and could be getting one of the most dangerous weapons in Tyreek Hill of the game back .
The reason I lean towards the over is two quarterbacks that want to take chances playing against two defenses which provide up points. While going using the Over might seem like a drama, calling this one a shootout appears inclined than stating one side gets the advantage on the other. Especially when it concerns those Texans who never seem from 1 week to the next like the group that is same. For each these reasons, my pick for this Week 6 game between the Chiefs and the Texans is Over 55.
