Seahawks at Texans odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Seahawks 28, Texans 10
Money line
PASS on the money line. You don’t want to have to bet four times what you can win. The Texans are a hot mess and the Seahawks appear to be rounding into form albeit probably too late to make a real playoff push.
Wilson looks to have fully recovered from the finger injury that caused him to miss three games.
The Texans are 0-2 vs. the NFC West this season.
Against the spread
Both teams have performed better against the spread than their straight-up records. The Seahawks are 6-6 ATS this season and the Texans are 5-7 ATS.
The Texans are 4-5 ATS when underdogs by at least a touchdown. But I don’t see any way for the Texans to be able to stop the Seahawks now that they appear to have their offense back on track.
Take the SEAHAWKS -7.5 (-112).
Over/Under
This week’s projected total is low but the Seahawks are 2-10 O/U this season. The Texans’ last four games and six of the last seven have stayed Under the projected total. Houston struggles to score points. Seattle will roll but won’t hit 30 points, while the Texans will struggle to just get to double digits.
Take UNDER 40.5 (-112).
