Head to our favorite pay per head bookie site at www.a1pph.com, where the Packers are favored by 3.5 points on the road. The total is 56.5 points, and Houston is a +160 moneyline home underdog.

The Texans must use the same game plan the Buccaneers did against Green Bay and unleash Watt and company to pressure Rodgers. The Packers defense can be scored on, but will their offense be held in check two weeks in a row?

Look for Rodgers and Adams to get back on track while getting Jones going in the running game for a bounce-back win.
