The bookies not showing much confidence in the Texans against what will be a rookie qb for the Jets IMOG. 4.5? What kind of odds are those? Why didn't they just say by a FG?

 Honestly, I figured we would open up at about -7 to -7.5. Based on what I have seen, it will probably climb up to that by kick off (currently at -5.5). Bottom line, we SHOULD roll. Good at home, 2 key DEF players back in the mix. I am not too worried about the running game for NY, I am worried about L Washington on those damn screen plays we seem to have an issue with. I can just see Barwin now, thinking he is going to get a big sack in game one........dump screen.......Dammmmmit!

Looks like the Texans-Jets game will be on CBS throughout all parts of Texas except areas that border New Mexico. The game will also be broadcast throughout the Northeast and Southern California. If you live elsewhere, it's Sunday Ticket or a sports bar for you.

point spreads are only meant to ensure that the odds makers get plenty of action for both teams. As long as the bets are about equal for two teams they come out ahead. The only way they lose is if way more people bet on one team and they win.
As a general rule the home team gets three points, so Vegas only really likes us by a point and a half. Considering the Jets are expected to have a strong running game (against our apparently weak run defense) and their defense is expected to be pretty good as well 4.5 is about what I would expect. I WOULD like to see what kind of odds I could get for the Jets running a screen play on 3rd and long....or an over under on total screens run by the Jets. I am really worried about screens. We've shown we are susceptible to them, and it's a great way to slow down a pass rush and help protect a rookie QB.
