The Falcons are currently 1.5-point home favorites against the Texans, with the bulk of their slight advantage likely attributed to the fact that they'll be hosting the game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
After starting out 2-0, the Falcons have lost consecutive games to the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite quite a bit of skill-position talent -- running back Bijan Robinson, tight end Kyle Pitts and receiver Drake London -- coach Arthur Smith's offense seemingly has a ceiling right now because of the lackluster play of quarterback Desmond Ridder. In four games, Ridder has tossed three touchdowns to three interceptions, while racking up only 744 total passing yards.
Meanwhile, the Texans, under first-year coach DeMeco Ryans, have been a pleasant surprise thus far. Houston is 2-2, following back-to-back blowout wins over the Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers. No. 2 overall pick C.J. Stroud looks like the best rookie quarterback in this year's class through the first month of the season, as he's thrown for 1,212 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions.
