vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Houston's -1.573 neutral rating ranks 17th and has fallen 1.204 points in a week, with a 2-5 record and a 0.598 strength of schedule exposing that prior-season 6.427 rating as stale. The 2.9-point injury dock for David Montgomery, Reed Blankenship, and Jalen Pitre is material, and the -4.48 vs-market gap says the number has been shading Houston too high all year, so this is a sell until the rating stabilizes.
