Sam Farmer predicts Thursday’s Houston Texans at New England Patriots game
NFL Thursday
HOUSTON (2-0) AT NEW ENGLAND (2-0)
TV: Channel 2, NFL Network, 5:15 p.m. PDT
Line: Texans by 1
Over/under: 40 ½
Sam Farmer’s pick: The Patriots are scary at home, even with rookie Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. But Houston has the firepower to go up there and win. The Patriots will get conservative while Houston looks to stretch the field with Brock Osweiler. Texans 24, Patriots 17.
