00:03 This Texans team, despite being as injured as anybody in the league, has a lot of talent.
00:07 CJ Stroud looks like a surefire hit right now.
00:10 It's him and Justin Herbert in terms of most pass attempts without an interception.
00:13 And maybe, you know, don't call out the announcer, thinks he's due for a pick today,
00:17 maybe show at some point here.
00:19 But I think Houston's the side plus three.
00:21 This is Mike Tomlin to a tee, right?
00:24 Everyone wants to back him as a dog, and he's like, "All right," he finds his way.
00:29 Oops, Tomlin and the Steelers should roll here, Leecey.
00:32 That's when Tomlin lets you down.
00:33 Yeah, and I like Houston here in terms of the look.
00:35 It is back-to-back road games in terms of Pittsburgh.
00:38 Stepped up Tavon Austin with a big touchdown.
00:40 Kenny Pickett looked more consistent in terms of the offense.
00:44 They converted third-down situations last week, and the defense stepped up,
00:48 shutting down the run against the Las Vegas Raiders, Donnie,
00:51 held them to 61 rushing yards in terms of that ballgame.
00:54 But when you look at this game, I mean, they did allow 324 to Jimmy Garoppolo,
00:59 170 to Devontae Adams.
01:01 I think C.J. Stroud coming off the 280-yard performance last week,
01:06 tanked out C.J. Stroud.
01:08 My best look in terms of this ballgame is the over 41-1/2.
01:12 If we're looking at, you know, styles make flights again,
01:14 Houston 2.8 yards per carry on the ground this year
01:17 when really the Pittsburgh Steelers have actually given up over five.
01:20 That's going to be a tail here.
01:21 So if we're looking at ground game success, I don't expect it for Houston.
01:24 So, again, back to your point, Garoppolo's going to have to throw for them to win,
01:27 and he's going to be under duress from those two.
