Hooray for second halves! They've been saving my ass this season.

Houston Texans -5 (+110) 
1 unit at Matchbook 
 
Damn, if we lose this one I am going to be one pissed off Texans fan. KC's run game is the strength of their offense, which just so happens to also be the strength of our D. I think a trend this year is going to be getting toasted by competent QBs and doing well vs teams that mostly run the ball this year. 
 
Worries me that Pinnacle is hanging a -4 while everyone else has a -4.5 though. If that's still the case when I leave, I'll probably buy this back. 
 
Texans/Chiefs OVER 44 (-115) 
 
Taking another Texans over because I don't think the books have quite caught up yet if this total isn't at 48.5 like it was last week. 
 
New England -2.5 (-105) 
 
I try to take New England whenever they're not spotting the other team an absurd amount of points. This is still a talented, well coached team, playing at home. -2.5 is good value to me. 
 
And oh boy, another Straddle: 
 
Won one yesterday in NCAAF, so hopefully that carries over: 
 
CLE +13.5, UNDER 37.5 (+275~ish) 
2.96 units 
 
PIT -13.5, OVER 37.5 (+275~ish) 
2.96 units 
 
CLE +7, UNDER 17.5 (+275~ish) 1st half 
2.96 units 
 
PIT -7, OVER 17.5 (+275~ish) 1st half 
 
Usually I don't like doing straddles on key numbers like 7 since if either leg of the parlay pushes, then I'm out a fair amount of juice, but the total here was so low I thought it was worth it. I guess we'll see if it bites me in the ass.
