Thoughts: The Texans took care of the Cincinnati Bengals last week in an AFC Wild Card Game while New England defeated the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago. The Patriots put a hurting on Houston a few weeks ago, which could play in the favor of Houston. New England wins here but I’d take the Texans with the points as well as the over.
