This falls into the system play where you bet on the underdog with a better record than the opponent. I was going to make this a one unit play, but I got a price that was only 1 cent away from what Pinnacle would be willing to take if they held the position (they're offering Oakland -109), which is much better than what I can get elsewhere in the market, so I upped my bet size.

The Texans don't lose a lot by having a healthy Sage Rosenfels come in rather than an injured Matt Schaub. He's been in this offense since Kubiak's regime started, and has shown that he can work with the current starting receivers; heck, many of them were on second string with him not that long ago.

I might try to scalp this back down to one unit later, if I can, and get myself a better price. We'll see.
