Texans at Packers picks and predictions
Prediction
Packers 31, Texans 27
Moneyline
PASS.
The Packers are playable on the moneyline, but their value is better served on the spread. The Texans are worthy of at least a glance, but they are too banged up to really consider to win on the road in Week 7.
Against the spread
BET PACKERS -3 (-105).
Simply put, the Texans are too injured to assume they’ll be able to keep pace here. They’ll be short at least four starting defenders and a couple of their top offensive weapons as well. The Packers are a less banged-up side and should be able to knife through an injured Houston secondary.
Green Bay has won and covered consistently as a favorite this season. It has won 2 in a row and covered both, closing as a favorite in each. The Texans have yet to be an underdog, but they are 0-1 straight up and ATS on the road against teams above .500.
Expect them to struggle short so many talented players. Take PACKERS -3 (-105).
Over/Under
BET OVER 48.5 (-110).
Both teams like to score, and neither defense has been on top of its game as of late. The Texans gave up 21 to QB Drake Maye and the Patriots in his first career start in Week 6. They have allowed at least 20 in 5 of 6 games and in 4 straight.
Houston has scored 23 or more in 3 straight as well. The Packers have gone 2-1-1 O/U in their last 4 and are 3-2-1 O/U on the season. They have scored at least 29 in 3 of their last 4. Considering those trends, back OVER 48.5 (-110).
