THE INSIDERS ROOM'S EARLY NON-CONF BLOWOUT (8-5 IN NFL SO FAR!)
(NFL) Houston vs. Pittsburgh,
Point Spread: 4.00 | -108.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* NON-CONFERENCE BLOWOUT on the Houston Texans.

While I do think an outright win isn't out of the question, in the end I'm grabbing the points.

The Steelers are 2-0 and the Texans are 0-2. Houston though has had two incredibly tough matchups to open the year, vs. KC and Baltimore.

Clearly Pittsburgh isn't a "cream puff" either, but the Steelers have issues with their offensive line and Big Ben hasn't been perfect despite his team's record.

Consider the Steelers competition as well, vs. the Giants and at home vs. a pathetic Denver team. And they sure haven't looked overly impressive in either.

Note as well that Houston is 7-2 ATS in its last nine road games after back-to-back SU/ATS losses.

I think Pittsburgh gets exposed by this "hungrier" Texans team.

Grab the points!

Good luck, NP
