Houston Gamblers at Columbus Aviators Predictions & Picks

Columbus are tipped to cover as they avenge last week’s loss to Houston.

The Aviators did win their last home outing, while the Gamblers have dropped both of their road games and failed to cover on both occasions.

  • Columbus Aviators won their last home game
  • Houston Gamblers are 0-2 in the road this season
  • Houston Gamblers are 0-2-0 ATS in their 2 road defeats this season
  • The Under cashed in last weekend’s meeting between the two teams

Head To Head

  • Houston Gamblers lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Houston Gamblers won 17-13 when the two teams last met on April 26

Houston Gamblers Form

Houston head back out on the road looking to repeat last week’s win over Columbus, which took their record to 2-3.

The Gamblers opened the season with a 36-17 defeat at Dallas, but responded in their home opener with a 22-20 upset of Birmingham.

They failed to follow that up though, as they went on to lose their next two games to fall to 1-3.

Houston were blown out on the road by defending champions DC, 45-7, before returning home for a 24-22 overtime defeat to league newcomers Louisville.

The Gamblers did avoid a third straight loss however, as they beat Columbus 17-13 at home last Sunday.

Columbus Aviators Form

Columbus return home with the aim of avenging last week’s road defeat to Houston, which dropped them to 1-4.

The Aviators kicked off their debut campaign with a 23-16 loss at Orlando, and that proved to be the start of a three-game skid.

They dropped their home opener to defending champions DC, 44-26 before heading to Dallas for a 28-23 loss to the Renegades.

Columbus avenged that defeat a week later as they upset Dallas at home, 28-14, to finally get off the mark.

However, the Aviators failed to follow that up last weekend, as they were beaten 17-13 on the road in Houston.

Verdict

Houston came out on top when these two teams met last weekend, but we expect roles to be reversed here.

The Gamblers are winless on the road this season, while the Aviators’ maiden win did come at home two weeks ago.
