Cardinals vs. Texans Odds
Game Preview
The Arizona Cardinals have 5 straight defeats. However, this is quite logical, given that several of their best players (like Marvin Harrison Jr.) are out, and they moved on from Kyler Murray, allowing Jacoby Brissett to take his place. Though we have to say the Cards play better than expected on the road, going 6-1 ATS in those games.
Last weekend, we saw Arizona getting dismantled at home by the Rams, 45-17. Their offense has been struggling lately, not scoring more than 22 points in regular time in the last 5 events.
Texans beat the Chiefs in Kansas City, 20-10. Their defense once again showed what it’s all about, picking Mahomes three times and limiting the hosts to 274 total yards.
Meanwhile, Stroud was rational even though conservative, having 203 passing yards and completing only 15 of his 31 passing attempts for a touchdown. The rushers were a bit sloppy here with 82 yards in total, but they didn’t have to be better due to their defense.
Cardinals vs. Texans Head to Head
The two franchises have met 6 times, and the results are tied so far, with three wins each.
Cardinals vs. Texans Predictions
Texans will win here, and they will cover the spread. Their defense is too much for the Cards, who are in trouble and don’t have their entire team available.
