Houston/Dallas Over 41.5 (POD)
The first lean that popped out in this game was the over, think about it, this is the first game this season (pre) to have a total over 40, it sits at 41.5. This is a rivalry, an in-state rivalry with Texas owners that have a lot of pride and each would love to up-each other despite this being the preseason. Having been in Texas, Texas has a lot to do with pride as does everywhere, but especially in the south. Note, that the line came out as -6 and has gone down to -5.5, roughly 57% are backing the Boys here. Rosenfels and Schaub are both ballers, remember, Rosenfels filled in incredibly for Schaub when he was out last year as this team with one or the other will always have a potent offense, heck, this team showed a lot of gusto by taking DeMario Williams in the draft if you remember and he has done well for this squad, Dallas is 0-2 thus far in the preseason, having scored 13 and 17 points and giving up 23 and 31 points. I know the total is high, but I wouldn't be surprised to see both teams pop 20 points here and have a decent shot at a sound over. Remember, Dallas is 0-2 thus far and returns back home, despite it being preseason, pride, pride, pride, will likely yield to an active dog all game longc and consequently some love for the over.
