The Carolina Panthers will be riding a streak of five consecutive regular season wins when they host the Houston Texans in Week 2 action on Sunday. The Panthers, however, went just 3-2 ATS in that stretch.
Carolina is coming off an easy victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1 thanks largely to their defense, which recorded five sacks, two interceptions and a pick-six against the overmatched Jaguars offense.
Meanwhile, the Texans seem to be firmly entrenched in a quarterback controversy as Brian Hoyer started Week 1 and was far from impressive. Backup Ryan Mallett came into the game in relief and executed the offense beautifully and seemed to have a connection with DeAndre Hopkins.
