Texans at Colts picks and predictions

Prediction

Colts 20, Texans 16

Moneyline

This game is going to be hard to watch. The Texans need a loss to secure the No. 1 pick in the draft. If they win and the Chicago Bears lose, they would fall to No. 2. The Colts currently have the 5th pick.

The Colts and Texans have 2 of the 3 worst offenses in the league and both are among the worst defenses as well. The 2 teams tied 20-20 in Week 1.

This is a game I normally would stay far from. There is little incentive for either team to win. That said, I give the Colts the edge as the home team.

BET COLTS (-145).

Against the spread

The Texans are 7-8-1 ATS this season and the Colts are 6-10 ATS. Houston has covered the spread in 3 of the last 4 games while the Colts have failed to cover the spread in 4 of their last 5 games.

However, in a season finale, this is going to feel like a preseason game.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Texans have failed to reach 20 points in 8 of their last 10 games. The Under is 5-0 in the Texans’ last 5 division games.

The Colts have also failed to reach 20 points in 8 of their last 10 games.

BET UNDER 37.5 (-108).

The Texans beat the Tennessee Titans 19-14 in Week 16 to cover as 3-point underdogs on the road. Houston snapped a 9-game losing streak with its win over Tennessee.

Jaguars at Texans picks and predictions

Prediction

Jaguars 30, Texans 20

Moneyline

Just PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the Jaguars being the expected team to win. The risk of taking Jacksonville to win isn’t worth it due to the minimal return you’ll receive if the Jaguars expectedly win.

Against the spread

While the Texans have been more competitive in recent weeks, JAGUARS -3 (-115) is the ideal choice in this game. Even though Lawrence is on the injury report, he hasn’t missed a game due to his toe injury yet and he’s been 1 of the best quarterbacks in his last 6 games.

The Jaguars are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team from the AFC and 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The road team has also gone 15-7-1 ATS in the last 23 meetings between the Jaguars and the Texans.

Over/Under

OVER 43 (-107) is an enticing bet in this contest due to how well the offense of the Jaguars has been in recent weeks. The Texans have also shown subtle improvements on offense in recent weeks, making the Over very obtainable on Sunday.

The Jaguars have gone Over in 4 straight games after winning by 14-plus points in their previous game. Also, the Jaguars are 4-1 to the Over in their last 5 games overall.

Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Houston Texans (1-12-1) are set to face the Tennessee Titans (7-7) on Saturday in Week 16 at Nissan Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:02 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Texans vs. Titans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Texans were defeated 30-24 by the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime in Week 15, but covered as 14.5-point underdogs. Despite losing 9 straight games, Houston has played Kansas City and the Dallas Cowboys close in the last 2 weeks.

The Titans suffered a 17-14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15 to push as 3-point underdogs. Tennessee has lost 4 games in a row and is now only 1 game ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC South.

Texans at Titans picks and predictions

Prediction

Titans 24, Texans 20

Moneyline

PASS.

The current odds for Tennessee (-170) to win straight up aren’t worth taking as the Titans will have rookie QB Malik Willis under center.

Against the spread

TITANS -3 (-117) is where I’m leaning in this game despite the loss of Tannehill. Tennessee still has RB Derrick Henry, who has rushed for 200-plus yards and multiple TDs in 4 straight matchups against Houston.

The Titans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record. The home team is also 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings between the Texans and the Titans.

Over/Under

Even with both of these teams not having high-flying offenses, OVER 34 (-110) is an intriguing bet in this contest. Henry could score nearly half or more than half of the points needed to hit the Over while the Texans have been more competitive in recent weeks.

Kansas City Chiefs at Houston Texans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs at Houston Texans odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Kansas City Chiefs (10-3) will take on the Houston Texans (1-11-1) at NRG Stadium Sunday in Week 15. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Chiefs vs. Texans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos 34-28 in Week 14, failing to cover the 8.5-point spread. Kansas City led 27-0 in the first half but allowed a comeback while QB Patrick Mahomes uncharacteristically threw 3 INTs. The Chiefs have covered the spread only 3 times this season.

The Texans have lost 8 straight and haven’t covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games. QBs Davis Mills and Jeff Driskel are expected to be on a rare QB rotation moving forward, and it will be Mills’ first career game against Kansas City. Driskel briefly played against K.C. as a Cincinnati Bengal in 2018 but threw only 4 passes in a blowout loss. The Chiefs and Texans haven’t played each other since 2020 when Houston was helmed by Deshaun Watson at QB.

Chiefs at Texans picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 34, Texans 13

Moneyline

A Super Bowl contender with the league’s top statistical QB against the worst team in the league that is missing its starting running back and top 2 receivers? Yeah, this one is a no-brainer. The Chiefs will win this game, but you shouldn’t waste your time on the +1000 moneyline that provides a miniscule payout.

AVOID the moneyline and spend your money elsewhere.

Against the spread

The Chiefs have failed to cover the spread against an AFC team this season, though they pushed as 10-point favorites against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This game is the perfect opportunity for that to change. The Chiefs have their eyes on recapturing the No. 1 seed while the Texans are missing so many key pieces on an already inept offense that averages just 16.2 points per game.

Kansas City should also take advantage of Houston’s poor run defense, which allows an average of 165.8 rushing yards per game. The Chiefs have been using RB Isiah Pacheco more lately (80 carries, 394 yards rushing, 2 TDs in his last 5 games). So expect him to have a big game.

BET CHIEFS -14.5 (-107).

Over/Under

During last week’s Chiefs vs. Broncos game it had looked like the Under was the way to go until K.C. allowed Denver to jump back into the game. I don’t see that happening 2 weeks in a row for the Chiefs, especially with the Texans missing so many offensive pieces. There just won’t be many ways for Houston to score.

LEAN UNDER 49.5 (-110).

Houston Texans at Dallas Cowboys odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Houston Texans at Dallas Cowboys odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Houston Texans (1-10-1) will travel to AT&T Stadium to call on the Dallas Cowboys (9-3) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Texans vs. Cowboys odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

After turning away from QB Davis Mills in favor of Kyle Allen, Texans coach Lovie Smith has decided to go back to Mills against the Cowboys. No matter the QB, the Texans offense has struggled mightily in 2022 and a wholesale change is ahead in the offseason.

RB Dameon Pierce has had a solid season as a rookie, tied for 5th with 198 carries and tied for 8th with 861 yards. Pierce has been the lone bright spot for a dreadful Houston team that has all but secured the No. 1 draft pick.

The Cowboys, despite having QB Dak Prescott and WR CeeDee Lamb, have also relied heavily on the run game in 2022. Tony Pollard has rushed for 852 yards and Ezekiel Elliott has gained 654 yards.

The Cowboys’ ability to score in the run game and in the pass game has helped them overcome injuries and inconsistent play on the offensive line. While the Cowboys defense has been top notch, it is more vulnerable against the run then against the pass.

Texans at Cowboys picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 27, Texans 13

Moneyline

PASS.

Dallas at -2000 is far too large to make a play on and the +950 would be a great payout, but it will not hit. For this reason, neither side is a good play, and it is best to stay away.

Against the spread

BET HOUSTON +17 (-110).

Run the ball. This will be the mantra of both sides in this battle for Texas.

Pierce will get 25 or more carries in this game as the Texans just look to not get blown off the field since after a 54-19 victory over the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday, Dallas will come into this game hyped up.

I do not see this game being close or particularly interesting. But I do see it landing within the 17-point number. Therefore, Houston +17 (-110) is my favorite play in this matchup.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 44.5 (-109).

This number is low and getting lower. If it gets to 42.5, I will stay away. But if you can get 44.5, I still like the Under.

According to CBS Sports, since 2010 after Week 8 in games with spreads of 17 or more, the Under has hit 6 of 8 times. While this is not a large sample size, neither are 17-point spreads. We know at this point in the season who teams are. We know for sure what these teams are. Both want to run the ball. The Texans will ride Pierce and the Cowboys will ride Elliott and Pollard. This is the same reason I prefer the Texans ATS as well. The game will be shortened, and Dallas wants to get out injury-free and move on to the next game. The Cowboys are looking forward to the playoffs. This means they are also looking past this game. A breezy game is in store so take the Under 44 (-109).

Cleveland Browns at Houston Texans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Browns at Houston Texans odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Browns (4-7) travel to meet the Houston Texans (1-9-1) for a Week 13 matchup Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Browns vs. Texans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns welcome QB Deshaun Watson back from an 11-game suspension, and he will make his regular-season team debut against his former team.

Check out the prop bets for Watson’s return

Cleveland is coming off a solid 23-17 overtime win as 3.5-point underdogs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Browns are 3-2 ATS in the last 5 games overall, but are 1-4 SU and 2-3 ATS in their last 5 road games, including a neutral-site battle with the Buffalo Bills in Detroit on Nov. 20.

Houston won on the road in Jacksonville Oct. 9, but it has dropped its last 6 games, while going 1-5 ATS. The Texans are also 0-4-1 SU in 5 games at home, while 2-3 ATS with the Under hitting in 3 of the 5 outings.

Browns at Texans picks and predictions

Prediction

Texans 23, Browns 20

Moneyline

The TEXANS (+305) are worth a look for a chance to triple up at home against its former embattled quarterback.

The Browns (-370) get Watson back, and a lot of people think Cleveland will instantly be better, but this is a QB who hasn’t played a meaningful game in 2 years. There is certain to be rust, and QB Kyle Allen and the Texans offense could be fairly effective with rookie RB Dameon Pierce.

It would help if Cooks were in the lineup, as that stings, but WR Nico Collins looked like a legit No. 1 wideout last week, and he and Allen had a nice rapport.

The Browns are a strong running team, and the Texans rank last in the NFL with 168.6 rushing yards per game allowed. As long as Houston can offer a little bit of resistance, forcing Cleveland to the air, the upset chance is good.

Against the spread

Take the TEXANS +7.5 (-109), as the Browns -7.5 (-111) have shown they have no business laying a touchdown to anybody, especially on the road. This is a team which is 3-5 ATS in the last 8 games, and it lost outright as a 6.5-point favorite in Week 2 at home against the New York Jets.

Over/Under

UNDER 46.5 (-108) is the lean in this AFC battle.

While the Browns might want to pass a little more, trying to knock the rust off of its “new” quarterback, the team’s strong point is its run game. Run games are always good for the Under.

The Texans have cashed the Under in 4 of the last 5 games overall, while going 5-1 in the last 6 following a straight-up loss. And, the Under is 8-3 in the past 11 meetings with the Browns, for what that’s worth.

Houston Texans at Miami Dolphins odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Houston Texans at Miami Dolphins odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Houston Texans (1-8-1) visit the Miami Dolphins (7-3) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Texans vs. Dolphins odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

After a 23-10 loss last Sunday to the Washington Commanders as 3-point underdogs, coach Lovie Smith was non-committal about QB Davis Mills and if he would continue to start for the Texans. With Houston firmly in control of the No. 1 draft pick in 2023, it looks like the team may be ready to select another signal caller. With Miami leading the AFC East and QB Tua Tagovailoa playing inspired football under coach Mike McDaniel, this looks like another game the Texans will lose on their way to the draft.

The Dolphins trade for WR Tyreek Hill has indeed brought out the best of Tagovailoa, who has taken a step up in his accuracy and his command of the team while Hill leads the league in receptions (81) and receiving yards (1,148). The addition of DE Bradley Chubb from Denver at the trade deadline has helped the defense become a better unit as well as Miami tries to beat out the Buffalo Bills in the division race.

Texans at Dolphins picks and predictions

Prediction

Dolphins 31, Texans 10

Moneyline

PASS.

With the spread being so high, the ML is also too high to want to make a wager on. Avoid this wager and instead make a play on the spread or the total.

Against the spread

BET DOLPHINS -14 (-111).

Coming off a bye week, the Dolphins will feast on the Texans.

Even if Mostert sits, the addition of RB Jeff Wilson from the San Francisco 49ers at the trade deadline has the run game of Miami in solid hands.

Hill, already with 1,148 receiving yards, is looking to become the first 2,000-yard receiver in NFL history. While it will not happen this week, he could get a bunch against a terrible Houston defense, which is now playing without its only star in rookie CB Stingley.

The Texans will wilt in the hot Miami sun and the Dolphins will win this game easily. MIAMI -14 (-111) is my FAVORITE PLAY in this contest.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 47 (-114).

The Dolphins can score. But for this game to get Over 47, the Dolphins will need to hit 40. This is not a given in any NFL game and I am hesitant to bet on it in this one.

Coming off the bye, Miami will come out strong and then cruise to the end. If Houston can get this game Over, it will be with garbage-time points. But I do not think the Texans are good enough to even get garbage-time points. Their only source of offense is RB Dameon Pierce and after being shut down last week by Washington, Miami and Chubb will attempt to do the same this Sunday. TAKE UNDER 47 (-114).

The Washington Commanders (5-5) take a trip to Texas to play the Houston Texans (1-7-1). Sunday’s kickoff from NRG Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Commanders vs. Texans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Commanders upset the previously undefeated Philadelphia Eagles 32-21 on Monday night as 11-point underdogs. The defense won the game by forcing 4 turnovers. QB Taylor Heinicke continued to shine and has great command of the team right now. He threw for 211 yards with WR Terry McLaurin having 8 receptions for 128 yards. RB Brian Robinson had 26 carries for 86 yards and 1 TD.

The Texans are on a 4-game losing streak, including a tough 24-16 loss last Sunday to New York Giants as 4.5-point underdogs. The Texans had more yards and 1st downs than the Giants, but their inability to keep the Giants offense off the field hurt them as well as their inability to limit their own turnovers, a season-long problem.

Commanders at Texans picks and predictions

Prediction

Commanders 28, Texans 21

Moneyline

BET COMMANDERS -160.

The Commanders are a better team than the Texans and are riding hot after that big win vs. Philadelphia. This team looks more energized and willing to play under Heinicke than they did under Wentz. The defense is finally starting to force turnovers, which eluded them early on. McLaurin is looking like a top-10 receiver and the Texans without their best WR in Cooks won’t be able to beat this team.

Against the spread

BET COMMANDERS -3 (117).

The Commanders should win this game by at least a touchdown, but this is the NFL where anything can happen. In the last 2 losses the Texans have played decently, but the Commanders are a better team and with the level that their defense has been playing you should feel confident in them covering the spread.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 40 (-113).

The Over is fairly safe in this game. The defense for the Commanders is very good, but the defense for the Texans is the opposite. The Commanders should be able to put up at least 4 touchdowns in this one to carry the over. The Texans run game will be able to put up points for them and if they are able to put up at least 2 TDs then Over 40 (-113) will be covered with ease.

Houston Texans at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Houston Texans at New York Giants odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[mm-video type=video id=01ghjd0bw2pjerqtxxa6 playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01ghjd0bw2pjerqtxxa6/01ghjd0bw2pjerqtxxa6-0aa51c62832d3f6fee9c179e6f45c16a.jpg]

The Houston Texans (1-6-1) will square off against the New York Giants (6-2) on Sunday in Week 10 at MetLife Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Texans vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Texans put up a good fight to begin last week’s matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles as they covered as 14-point underdogs in a 29-17 loss at home. Houston is on its second 3-game losing streak of the season.

One of the most surprising teams this season has been the Giants, who are coming off their bye week. New York suffered a 27-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8 where the team was unable to cover as 3-point underdogs on the road.

Texans at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 23, Texans 16

Moneyline

Just AVOID the moneyline in this game as the odds for New York to win aren’t worth taking straight up. The Giants should be able to defeat the Texans at home, but I’d stay away from wagering on their moneyline.

Against the spread

GIANTS -5 (-108) is where I’m going in this game with New York being the superior team. The Giants will likely look to run RB Saquon Barkley against a dismal run defense of the Texans.

Houston is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games following a double-digit loss at home.

Over/Under

With both teams reliant on their running games, UNDER 41 (-110) is an enticing bet in this contest. The Texans and the Giants have a combined 5-10-1 record to the Over this season.

The Texans have hit the Under in 5 of their last 6 road games against a team with a winning home record. Meanwhile, the Giants have gone Under in each of their last 6 home games against a team with a losing road record.

Eagles at Texans picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 31, Texans 13

Moneyline

The Eagles have scored 24 or more in 6 of their 7 games this season while the Texans have scored more than 20 points only once this season, although they have scored exactly 20 points three times.

The Texans have gained fewer than 300 yards of offense in half of their games this season, and they haven’t won at home.

The Eagles (-800) should win, but the moneyline isn’t worth any action due to a lack of value.

PASS.

Against the spread

Eagles -13.5 (-110) feels like a lot to lay down, especially since the Texans have only lost by that much only once this season.

However, facing a similarly bad team offensively in the Steelers last week, the Eagles rolled to a 22-point win. They are 1-2 ATS on the road this season but their offense should overwhelm the Texans, who will not have a chance to keep up.

BET EAGLES -13.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Eagles have allowed 17 or fewer points in 5 of their last 6 games.

The Texans have scored more than 20 only once this season.

Philly’s offense is predicated upon the run game, so once it gets a lead, it will be able to slow the game down. That might keep their points down below where they could reach if the game were more competitive.

BET UNDER 46 (-112).
