This spread initially opened at -3.5 which I feel is a better place for it.  The Cowboys looked good at home last week against the Saints, but they will be facing a much better defense this week.  This game will most likely stay on the ground, as both of these teams love to run the football.  Sounds like a low scoring game that will be decided by turnovers.  Both teams have been playing much better than expected this season and both currently hold 3-1 records.  The question comes down to which team can keep it up.  It definitely helps the Dallas is playing at home, but the Texans arguably have one of the best defenses in the league this year and will look to slow down this Dallas offense that has averaged 28.8 points per game.  Houston is much better against the pass than they are against the run, so expect the Cowboys to keep feeding DeMarco Murray the football.  The MVP for the Texans this season has been fantasy super beast JJ Watt, who has more touchdowns than Arian Foster this year so far.  The Texans will need another dominant performance from Watt this week (and ideally another touchdown) to help Houston win on the road.  I expect this to be a low scoring and close ball game.  I think the spread and the over/under are both too high.  Don’t be shocked if the Texans pull this one out.
