Steelers (+3) vs. Texans (-115)

"Houston's defense faltered a little down the stretch and, overall, wasn't as dominant on the road," SportsLine expert Larry Hartstein said. "Aaron Rodgers will get rid of the ball quickly, somewhat negating the Texans' pass rush. The Texans are more comfortable playing indoors. I'm expecting a game that goes down to the wire and love grabbing a full field goal with the home dog." Back the Steelers at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users get $300 in bonus bets if your first $5 bet wins:

Steelers vs. Texans: Over 38.5 total points (-105)

The Steelers' defense hasn't been as dominant this year compared to its reputation, ranking 16th in scoring defense at 22.8 points per game allowed. The Texans have the No. 2 scoring defense (17.4 ppg allowed), and despite being 42 years old, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is actually playing better as the season progresses, rather than his body giving up on him as the year goes on. He threw a season-high 294 yards last week, and the Steelers have scored at least 26 points in four of their last five games. The Texans scored 38 points last week, and they are averaging 30.3 ppg over their last four games. The Over has hit in four of the last five Steelers games, and three of the last four Texans games, and the model projects the Over to hit in 55% of simulations. Back the Over at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users get $300 in bonus bets if your first $5 bet wins:

Raptors (+3.5) vs. 76ers (-110)

The Raptors are hosting the second half of a back-to-back against the 76ers on Monday after defeating Philadelphia, 116-115, in overtime on Sunday. Scottie Barnes had 31 points for Toronto, which improved to 24-16 overall and 13-8 at home this season. The Raptors are 5-1 over their last six games in Toronto. The model projects the Raptors to cover in 61% of simulations. Back the Raptors at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users get $300 in bonus bets if your first $5 bet wins:
