Our Steelers vs. Texans Pick and Predictions

This should be a really good football game. The Steelers have won two straight games, while the Texans are coming off their loss in week two. Pittsburgh’s defense will be put to the test against the vaunted Houston offense. The Texans have had a tough time beating good teams in the last few years. Until Gary Kubiak and his team show they can win against good teams, Pittsburgh has got to be the pick. The Texans are favorites, due to being at home, but in this game, we are betting the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite being on the road. The Steelers are +3.5, and that is our bet.
