HOUSTON @ PITTSBURGH (HOU -3, 38.5)
KENNETH GAINWELL 30+ RECEIVING YARDS
Houston has one of the best defenses in the NFL. The Texans rank No. 4 against the run, No. 6 against the pass, and No. 2 in scoring defense. They've on 9 straight games and have done so largely because of a defense that allows just 17.3 points per game.
Pittsburgh has struggled on offense this season, failing to gain an identity. However, in 4 of their last 5 games, the Steelers have managed to score at least 26 points. They have done so by throwing the ball to their running backs and tight ends.
RB Kenneth Gainwell is one guy who has been extremely productive over the last part of the regular season. Gainwell had at least 46 receiving yards in 3 of his last 4 games. On the defensive end, Houston only allows 183 passing yards per game but 31.5 of those go to opposing running backs.
Houston plays a ton of Cover 3, which will force Aaron Rodgers to throw the ball into underneath zones to running backs and tight ends. That's why Gainwell should easily surpass 30 receiving yards tonight.
