Yep, I expect it to go up. Already 6.5 in a couple of places... The number "7" is a key number so it will probably settle around 7 plus/minus the half point...

I don't know what to think of their win in Arlington yesterday but 39 point is a lot of offense. Is the Dallas D that bad or is the ATL O that good ? Will the Texans put Jonathon J. alone without help on Julio Jones ?
And they gave up a lot to a Dallas offense without its 2 best players ?

I didn't watch the game but it looks like Dallas got their 28 pts in the 1st half so looks like the Falcons made a half time adjustment and shut them out the rest of the way... The Falcon defense can be scored upon - their defense ranks 24th in yds/game and 16th in pts/game. But can the Texan offense take advantage and not look totally incompetent?
QB Matt Ryan is leaning on Julio Jones heavily in the passing game so containing him is obviously priority #1. But they have to do it without ignoring the other weapons. RB Devonta Freeman had an "Alfred Blue-like" day against the Cowboys rushing for 141 yards on 30 carries with 3 TDs.
Frankly, this one doesn't look very good for the Texans... If they have any chance of winning, this might be one of those games where the Texans have to play clean, win the turnover battle by 2+ and/or hope they catch the Falcons feeling fat and sassy because they are 3-0.....
