Atlanta put up one of the biggest stinkers of last week. At 1-3 they are desperate for a in or else their season might be toast.
Houston was not much better than Atlanta last week, also losing at home. A difference is that the entire division is tied at 2-2 right now.
Atlanta Falcons
When Drew Brees got hurt the Falcons were supposed to be the beneficiary. Instead they are 1-3 with back to back road games coming. If they lose that second one to Arizona the coach might not make to Halloween.

Things are not looking good.
Last week was a dud. Despite close to 400 yards passing from Matt Ryan the Falcons scored only 10 points and were pretty much out of the game by half time…at home. The running game was nonexistent with just 58 total yards. The pass all the time formula just isn’t working.
Most defenses are able to force Marcus Mariota into mistakes, that did not happen last week. They gave up 100 on the ground to Derrick Henry and allowed Mariota to complete 3 TD passes. The defense continues to struggle.
It is hard to see how things get better for Atlanta this week. They are on the road and Houston is a much tougher opponent.
The number is kind of dead at 5.5 though. It will likely get closer to 7 as kickoff approaches.
Houston Texans
Like Atlanta Houston scored only 10 points last week and like Atlanta they lost at home. They were favourites against a Carolina team that was without Cam Newton.

Normally when a game is close the Texans can count on some Deshaun Watson magic to get them past. He was ordinary last week and they can’t win like that.
The defense was alright, holding the Panthers to less than 300 yards. They kept Christian McCaffery in check and limited Newton’s replacement.
Houston has to do a better job protecting Watson though. He was sacked 6 times and when you are under heat like that it eventually gets in your head.
This is not a must win for Houston but a home loss would be tough to take. They have Atlanta right where they want them, if they can just protect a little better.

4* Free NFL Betting Prediction: Houston -5.5
If you are also on Houston I would suggest that you get this number now. I think it will go up some. It might not cross through 7 but this one is better than 6. Houston at home seems like a good bet.
NFL Free Week 5 Score Prediction: Houston 27 – Atlanta 16
The key is keeping Watson upright. Atlanta does not have much of a pass rush or great cover personnel so I expect Watson to be in command. They might not run much but they won’t have to. Matty Ice has some receivers too but JJ Watt will be bearing down on him all game. That will make it tough for him.
