Houston especially needs a win, as they have lost 4 games straight. Coming into the season, many believed this could be Houston’s coming out party, but so far they haven’t showed it. They have showed signs through out the season and even kept almost all of their games close, but haven’t been able to finish. I completely project this one as a hard fought...
