NFL Odds: Dallas Cowboys (+3) -125 vs. Houston Texans (-3) +105: Over/Under 47.5

The Cowboys are in a lot of trouble right now, and they’re in that deep doo thanks to their offense. The defense has done a suitable job, holding foes to just 279.0 yards and 20.0 points per game.

However, did you ever think that a team with a backfield of Felix Jones, Marion Barber, and Tashard Choice would average just 69.5 rushing yards per game?

That’s where Dallas sits right now, and it is spoiling the efforts of a passing attack that ranks second in the league with 325.5 yards per game. Give Tony Romo some credit, as he is doing his job to help beat the NFL odds.

Romo has completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 656 yards. He only has two TD passes on the year, but he has certainly made a perennial Pro Bowler out of Miles Austin who leads the NFL in receptions with 20 and receiving yards with 288.

It has been a season of firsts for the Texans, and they are paying off with wins against the NFL odds. Arian Foster became the first running back to run for more than 225 yards in a game. Matt Schaub has become the first quarterback to throw for more than 450 yards. Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter became the first duo of receivers to have 100+ yards in the same game. Neil Rackers won the first overtime game in the history of the team as well.

Up next? The first playoff berth in team history.

A win on Sunday would move the Texans to 3-0 for, to no surprise, the first time in franchise history. The biggest question that Gary Kubiak has to have coming into this game is how his pass defense is going to hold up. The Houston Texans secondary is ranked dead last in the league with an average of 411.0 yards per game allowed.

However, when your offense is averaging 32.0 points and 440.5 yards per game, you can afford a few defensive blunders and still be 2-0 against the spread on the season.

NFL Insider Tip: The Cowboys are just 5-11 ATS in their L/16 on the road. The dead man that you see walking on the visitors sideline might just be Wade Phillips. That star on his chest might turn into a bulls-eye for Jerry Jones when this game is over, because the Texans are going to roll, which will drop the Dallas Cowboys to a woeful 0-3 on the year and on life support.

Go with Houston to beat the NFL odds on Sunday.
