CARDS at TEXANS

1 p.m., Texans by 1, 39½

HANK’S HONEYS: Blaine Gabbert will start for Drew Stanton, not that it’s much of a downgrade and when the other team has Tom Savage on the mound, does it really matter? Determining factor here is that Texans defense is an absolute mess with all of their injuries. It probably couldn’t even stop the Dolphins . . . O.K., maybe the Dolphins would stop themselves. But the Cardinals still have Adrian Peterson running the ball and Larry Fitzgerald catching it. Their defense still has a few playmakers left. Patrick Peterson is capable of keeping DeAndre Hopkins in check.

IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Cards and the under.
