The gambling experts and the fantasy experts are not literally the same people. However, that might as well be related. Emotions and feelings don’t enter in at all. There is no money in that. The best thing they can do is set the numbers at a place where you will get equal action on both sides. So, when Vegas sets the Texans’ win total at 5.5 or 6.5 then it means they expect them to finish 6-11.
So, if Texans fans or prognosticators are to somehow justify anything over that they will need to find it somewhere in the individual position groups and their projections.
