Why the Houston Texans are a good bet -4 ½?
Houston was down 17-7 at halftime to the L.A. Chargers. Entering the third quarter, it sure appeared as if the Chargers had the game under control. Deshaun Watson rallied the troops, though, for a fantastic 27-20 victory.

Carolina Panthers vs Houston Texans Final NFL Betting Analysis
Sometimes, everything comes into focus. If Cam Newton were playing for Carolina, this one might come into focus as well. Kyle Allen throws a wrench into the works. Allen was so effective against the Cardinals, that we must take that into account when handicapping this matchup.
The Panthers are just a calmer team with Allen at quarterback. He can make more of the NFL throws than Newton can. With Christian McCaffrey in the backfield, Carolina should make a push for the straight up win. The 4 ½ points will mean something in this matchup. Go Panthers.
