The suddenly relevant Houston Texans will have to go some place they have not been in a while this weekend, the road. The Minnesota Vikings will host the Texans for a 1:00pm ET game at the Metrodome. NFL Picks at Heroescasino.com have the Vikes as a -4.5 home favorite.
The Texans are 3-1 in their last four games, all at home, and have moved their record to 3-4 on the season. Houston had their biggest win of the year (as far as margin is concerned) last Sunday when they smashed the Bengals 35-6. The Texans are now averaging 25 points per game while yielding 26.4 points per game.
The Vikings, also 3-4, are coming off their bye week and in desperate need of a victory to keep pace with Green Bay and Chicago. Minnesota is producing 22 points per game , but their much hyped defense is giving away 23.9 points to opponents. The Vikings will probably keep things on the ground against the Texans given quarterback Gus Frerotte's 72.6 passer rating.
NFL Picks Trend: The Over is 7-2-1 in Houston's last 10 games as a road underdog.
