As they enter the 2010 year as a Football wagering fave to make the playoffs, Football betting expectations have never been higher for the Texans. As the Houston Texans are arriving from their first ever winning year and had the top passing attack in Football wagering, Football betting odds makers have watched encouraging signs from Houston.



If Houston is going to take the next step, nonetheless, an better running game is a necessity when betting football. While the passing attack is on the list of NFL’s elite, it was not enough to get the Houston Texans into the post season last year and excessive dependence has been put on quarterback Matt Schaub.

Schaub’s teammates say that he is far looser than in the past and his confidence proceeds to grow even with the lofty expectations. Schaub passed for 4770 yards last year and 29 touchdown passes with a completion proportion of 68 in addition to a QB rating of 98.6.

Houston’s rushing attack ranked 30th last year at the sportsbook and their inability to put away opponents by milking the clock with a strong rushing attack was a weakness with the Football betting lines.

“We want to be more of a balanced team,” explained Schaub. “We are a passing team, but we don’t ever want it to be where we throw 80 percent of the time. If it means more in terms of wins to run the ball, then that’s what we’ll need to do.”

“For our team to get better, we have to be balanced,” Gary Kubiak, Houston’s head coach, explained. “We couldn’t close games late in the fourth quarter because we couldn’t run the ball. When you throw it to close games, it makes it more difficult.”

Houston’s failure to close was a point of frustration with burned odds makers that backed them with the Football betting odds.

Steve Slaton and Arian Foster are contending for the top position. Slaton endured a sophomore jinx though he had a fine rookie year in 2008. Foster has been the starter in preseason but Slaton is challenging with an better attitude and reduced waist line.

The Houston Texans continued to struggle with the ground game in their Football betting loss last week at New Orleans as they averaged only 3.4 yards per carry in a 20-38 blowout loss. They averaged only 3.6 yards per carry vs Arizona in the preseason opener.

Houston sponsors Dallas in preseason competition Saturday evening.
