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



If Houston is going to take the next step, nevertheless, an much better running game is an absolute necessity when betting football. While the passing attack is among the NFL’s best, it was not enough to get the Texans into the post season last year and too much dependence has been put on quarterback Matt Schaub.

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

Houston’s inability to put away competitors by milking the clock with a powerful rushing attack was a weakness with the Football wagering lines, and their rushing attack rated 30th last year at the sportsbook.

“We want to be more of a balanced team,” said 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,” said Houston head coach Gary Kubiak. “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 inability to close was a point of frustration with burned handicappers that backed them with the Football wagering odds.

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

The Texans continued to struggle with the ground game in their Football wagering loss last week at New Orleans as they averaged just 3.4 yards per carry in a 20-38 blowout loss. They averaged just 3.6 yards per carry against Arizona in the preseason starter.

Houston hosts Dallas in preseason competition Saturday night.
