The Texans have been hot and cold this season. First, they mounted an inspired comeback in the season opener against the Saints only to lose to a last-second field goal. Then they laid an egg against the Jaguars in Week 2 but saved the victory thanks to a gutsy stop on Jacksonville's attempt at a game-winning two-point conversion.
The Chargers are a similarly difficult team to read, having scored only 10 points against the Lions last week after showing up to play against a strong Colts side in Week 1.
Thankfully, the numbers are making this pick for us. According to the Action Network, 70% of bettors are taking the Panthers, so we're zagging to back the Chargers.
