Ariz +4.5 vs Hou (47.5)

• Here is what we know - Houston can score a ton and Arizona can’t play D - let’s start with Houston.
• WOW to CJ and this Houston team - sitting in a Wild Card spot and they just beat the Bengals in Cincy. They scored 30 against Cincy and 39 against TB in their last 2 games and are averaging over 24 points per game.
• Now they face the 5th worst D in football, allowing over 26 points per game. So if Houston averaged 24 points and were capable of scoring 30 and 39 against 2 better defenses, how many points are they putting up against this anemic Cardinal D - I think they get 30 easy - but let’s go with 30.
• That means we need 19 points from Arizona to get this over the total.
• On the entire year this Arizona team has averaged 17.6 points per game, but that is without Murray and I think he is an improvement from Dobbs and whoever.
• Murray and the Cards just put up 25 on Atlanta who has a pretty good D. Murray threw for 230 yards and they also got 122 yards on the ground.
• While Houston is lights out right now on offense, their D struggles. They are in the bottom half of the league in points allowed at 21.3 per game and they are in the bottom 10 in passing yards allowed.
• I think we have one really bad d unit, one mediocre D unit, 1 team that can score 30 and has twice in a row and 1 team that can score especially with Murray back.
• 28-21 gets us over the total and I think we might see a game that gets into the mid 50s.
• 3% - Ariz/Houston Over 47.5
