Two winless teams duke it out, Sunday, in NRG Stadium when the Houston Texans (0-3) host the Minnesota Vikings (0-3) for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Lets look at the early Week 3 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
Houston took a Week 3 beatdown at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers thanks to in large part an overwhelmed Houston ground game. The Texans were outgained on the ground, 169-29, in its 28-21 loss at Heinz Field. Deshaun Watson had a solid game – 19-for-27 with 264 passing yards, two TDs and one interception – but was sacked five times by the Steelers.
Minnesota’s offense bounced back, but its defense continued to struggle in the Vikings’ 31-30 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. The Vikings averaged an efficient 7.5 yards per play, but their minus-two in turnover differential, failing to convert on their lone fourth-down attempt and a missed field goal by PK Dan Bailey were contributing factors to the loss.
