Yeah, just speculating here but the oddsmakers may have already concluded that rookie Jacoby Brissett (NC State) is about equal to any street free agent (Whitehurst, etc) that they (New England) may bring in. Very surprised that the oddsmakers have thrown a line out there..... I've seen them keep a game off the board right up until the day of the game many times with a lesser questionable QB situation.

Also, IIRC, New England as a home underdog has some kind of really nice record which I'm sure will come out in the next few days (and I will post it once I see it).... Not a good position for the Texans to be in since it puts them up against a really favorable New England winning trend.....
