BookMaker has the New Orleans Saints listed as 1-point favorites on the road against the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon in week 6 of the NFL season. New Orleans has won three of the five games all-time and two of the last three matchups while the Texans are 3-2 ATS all-time and 2-1 ATS in the last three games in the series. The Saints are 1-3-1 ATS overall, 1-1-1 ATS on the road, and 0-2-1 ATS as a favorite this season while the Houston Texans are 3-2 ATS overall, 1-1 ATS at home, and 3-1 ATS as an underdog on the year.

Houston is a vastly improved team compared to last season and may even contend for the AFC South title, however, New Orleans is still the more talented team this season and enters this matchup having won three of the five games all-time and two of the last three games in the series. I look for that trend to continue on Sunday afternoon when the Saints travel to take on the Texans which is why I am taking the money line for the New Orleans Saints for this matchup in week 6 of the NFL season.
