[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Detroit Lions (7-1) meet the Houston Texans (6-3) at NRG Stadium on Sunday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we look at Lions vs. Texans odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

Sunday night presents the first matchup between 2 coaches widely viewed as the next up-and-comers. Dan Campbell has the Lions atop the NFC and arguably the favorites the go to the Super Bowl. The Lions took down NFC North-rival Green Bay Packers Sunday 24-14. WR Amon-Ra St. Brown caught all 7 targets for 56 yards and a TD. He has caught the last 30 passes QB Jared Goff has thrown his way. That is tied for the longest streak since 2016.

The Texans have lost 2 of 3 games after a 21-13 road defeat to the New York Jets on Halloween night. They are reeling with WR Stefon Diggs (knee) out for the season and WR Nico Collins (hamstring) still on IR. QB C.J. Stroud went 11-for-30 for 191 yards, 0 TDs and 0 INTs. All of it went to 3 receivers. RB Joe Mixon kept them in the game with a 24-106-1 line on the ground.
