The Houston Texans look like a great bet against the Chicago Bears this Sunday.
The Bears have dropped six straight games and rank 30th in the NFL for total offense, despite putting 30 points on the board against Detroit last week.
Their defense is not the same stingy Bears D we have grown used to in recent years. This looks like a particularly bad matchup; since Week 8, they have allowed 7.7 yards per pass attempt (second-worst in the NFL) while Texans QB Deshaun Watson has thrown for 8.9 yards per attempt (best in the NFL) during that same time period.
The Texans had covered the spread in three straight games won back-to-back straight up (against New England and Detroit) before coming up short both SU and ATS against the Colts last week.
Texans are 6-2-2 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Bears are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games.
