Analysis: it's extraordinary to see a UPM simulation result of 83% confidence at this stage of the season. This may well be the highest number we've ever seen beyond the first month and we're in week eight now. On the downside teams without a win tend to be fierce in the chasing of that first elusive win, but at the same time Houston's record as a favorite is deplorable.
Favor: Cleveland +2
