If anyone can find a way to slot in a #3 QB, it's Belichick, but this is a big ask.

Houston are tough on opposing trigger men and a young QB off a short week is bound to struggle. Blount will see a ton of the ball with James White and D.J. Foster changing it up. Otherwise it'll be quick strikes to Edelman and Amendola and the Gronk is talking up his chances too - we'll see. Anyway, that's a brutal front seven and a decent secondary to challenge with Brissett under center.

Osweiler has been workmanlike (the picks need work) and Miller is morphing into a workhorse back, but it's out wide that the Texans can find some joy: DeAndre Hopkins and outstanding rookie Will Fuller should provide Houston with enough to get past a hobbled home team. I like the Under, too.

Pick: Texans @ 2
Pick: Under 40.5 @ 1.95
