"NFL Picks, Predictions,
  Point Spreads & Odds"

When it comes to making NFL picks most pro football handicappers & sports betting experts get stuffed at the goal line, because they use NFL gambling info & NFL betting stats already factored into Las Vegas pro football lines when determining their NFL football picks & predictions each week...

FootballLOCKS.com has a different system for making NFL betting picks. We use our innovative Backwards Odds Handicapping of Las Vegas NFL odds & NFL point spreads to seek indications in the weekly NFL line as to which teams Las Vegas sports odds makers may think have an edge to cover the spread.

If you place NFL bets or gamble in a football pool, see if your NFL wagering success increases with a bet on FootballLOCKS.com's NFL expert picks & predictions... While the full card of week to week NFL game picks aren't 100% free NFL picks, we think you'll see by our subscription options that you're practically getting our NFL selections on the house.

Houston Texans 2011 Season Win Total Outlook & Projection:

2011 Houston Texans Las Vegas Season Win Total Line;
Oddsmakers currently have the regular season win total betting line for the Houston Texans set at 9 wins... This represents an increase of 3 wins from the Texans' prior year regular season mark of (6-10) and is tied with Dallas for the largest jump from any team's '10 record.

Part of this line has to do with uncertainty surrounding the neck injury to Indianapolis' Peyton Manning... This is the likely cause of Houston's season win total line creeping up 1/2 point from 8.5 to 9.

Of course the Texans are battling their own injury question with Arian Foster's hamstring woes, but seem adequately deep at RB to stem the tide with Ward and Tate.

Part of this line also includes expectations for an improved defense under Wade Phillips. The Texans' record surely could have been better last season if not for late game defensive collapses.

Schedule Analysis:
In 2011 the Texans will play 6 games versus teams that made the playoffs a year ago. This is a reduction of 1 such matchup compared to the previous season, but still represents a fairly high number of contests.

Not to mention @Tampa Bay in week 10, a team on the playoff bubble with 10 wins.

Other potentially competitive matchups include; @Miami in week 2, @Tennessee in week 7, the aforementioned @Tampa Bay in week 10, and @Jacksonville in week 12 (which comes after Houston's bye week)... If not for Tennessee and Jacksonville being division rivals, these road games might be considered lighter fare in 2011.

Meanwhile, lighter competition includes; Oakland in week 5, Jacksonville in week 8, Cleveland in week 9, @Cincinnati in week 14, Carolina in week 15, and Tennessee in week 17...

Record Projection:
In 2011 we project the Texans to go (10-6), topping the Vegas season win total of 9 games. Houston's offense is formidable. And we project they can take the AFC South if their defense can improve to at least average NFL caliber. Of course injuries could always wreak havoc in the other direction.
