Bills at Texans picks and predictions

Prediction

Bills 24, Texans 21

Moneyline

LEAN BILLS (+100).

Houston has the more talented roster, especially offensively, but in close matchups like these, I tend to go with the better quarterback to win. I expect this Buffalo team to see some success in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

This is a lean because, as stated, this is a very tight matchup, and I find it very difficult to gauge either team at this time.

Against the spread

PASS.

I like the Bills to cover here, but I am backing them on the ML and am not a fan of doubling down on 1-point underdogs.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 47 (-110).

The Under has hit in each of Houston’s last 3 games and is 2-1 in Buffalo’s last 3. Both Buffalo and Houston have solid defenses, and I am not sold on Buffalo’s offense, which currently scores 30.5 points per game, as I expect that number to decrease as the Bills play more competition.
