HONDO
Houston Texans +3
Hondo’s deficit dropped into three digits Sunday when his lone loss with the Seahawks was overwhelmed by victories with the Colts and Chiefs that trimmed the number to 995 blounts.
Monday night: Mr. Aitch is counting on Pittsburgh fans to be wondering Watt the hell happened after J.J. and the Texans get through with the Steelers — 10 units on Houston.

Welcome to Ecks & Bacon for Monday, October 20, 2014
Steelers/Texans OVER 44-
Had an Email from a loyal reader, no, not "Quack," and he was wondering why no totals. Well, here's a total play and we're going over 44.5 in the Steelers/Texans game. All the chatter surrounding Houston's defense centers around the multi-talented All-Pro J.J. Watt. So, naturally, you would think that the Texans D is at the top of the NFL charts. Listen carefully and you can hear that annoying buzzer when someone gives a wrong answer on "Family Feud." In case you're interested, and I know you are, totally liked Richard Dawson as the old school host over Louie Anderson or John O'Hurley (the J. Peterman guy from "Seinfeld"). But Steve Harvey ain't bad in the newest version. Back to totals. Houston is actually 27th in the league for yards allowed, giving up an average of 397 per game. The Texans have been particularly awful the last two weeks, allowing 694 passing yards and five TDs. And this AIN'T the old "Steel Curtain" in Pittsburgh either. The Steelers have gone over in five of their last six at home, and will look to light up the scoreboard against Houston's swiss cheese D. Gimme half a Benjamin on the over.
San Diego came up on the short end of a 23-20 score against Kaycee yesterday and it cost me a pair of nickels. My three team teaser was skunked by the Browns, who lost to the stinkin' Jaguars, 24-6. Where's Johnny Football when you need him??? After doing the math, and pressing the proper buttons, the calculator says that +$983 is the current figure.Comment

Houston @ PITTSBURGH
PITTSBURGH -3 -107 over Houston
This is an interesting game in that it plays right into public perception and it’s something we’re going to look to take advantage of. Let us take you back 10 or 11 days ago to when the Texans hosted the Colts on Thursday night. The entire betting world was on the Colts that night and they were feeling pretty smug when Indy rolled a 24 in the first quarter to lead 24-0 after one. From that point on, the Texans started to rally hard. Things got very dicey in the third and fourth quarters before the Colts hung on for a narrow 5-point win and cover. After the first quarter, Houston outscored the Colts 28-9 and that’s the last time the Texans played. That sticks in the minds of bettors and now Houston takes a significant drop in class when facing these Steelers.
Meanwhile, the Steelers got whacked, 31-10 last week by a Cleveland team that just lost to Jacksonville. Pittsburgh also lost to Tampa Bay the week after the Bucs lost by 100 points to Atlanta. In between those two games, Pittsburgh had trouble with Jacksonville, winning by a score of 17-9. Now for the first time in a long time, Pittsburgh has little appeal. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again that the best time to buy is when everyone is selling and that applies here.
Indy took its foot of the gas against Houston last week and once you lose momentum in any sport or game, it’s very difficult to get it back. The Texans are nothing. They have a nothing QB and a nothing defense. Houston had an extremely easy schedule in the first month by playing Washington, Oakland, the Giants and Buffalo. That’s four teams that can’t move forward, yet the Texans gave up chunks of yards to all of them. Houston is getting far too much credit for back-to-back close losses to Dallas and Indy and we’re not buying that either. For Dallas, that game against Houston was “sandwiched” between New Orleans and Seattle so the “close game” angle holds no weight. Now the Texans and their 27th ranked rushing defense will go into Pittsburgh to play a team that has racked up 824 yards on the ground in six weeks. When you can’t stop the run, and the Texans cannot, it sets up play action and ultimately big yardage. Ben Roethlisberger figures to have a big game with that setup working in his favor.
Furthermore, the Steelers are in a very foul mood after getting overwhelmed by the Brownies. Lastly, don’t expect the Texans to get any calls from the zebras, as the NFL is a lot more “intere$ting” when the Steelers are in the picture as oppose to out of it and the home side gets most of the calls in prime time anyway. If you take the Texans here, you’ll be asking yourself “why” afterward.
