Texans vs. Chargers Odds
Game Preview
Houston Texans allow the fewest points in the NFL, just 16.6 per game, and they also allow only 272.3 total yards per contest, which ranks at the top of the defensive charts as well. Rock-solid defense is the reason why this team has 7 wins in a row.
The most recent was against the Las Vegas Raiders, 23-21, last Sunday. Houston didn’t look confident as in the games before this one, but eventually, they managed to outlast the Raiders and add their 10th triumph of the campaign.
The LA Chargers visited Dallas and rolled over the Cowboys, 34-17. This was their second straight road triumph, with Jim Harbaugh’s unit beating the Chiefs a week earlier, 16-13.
From what we saw, even though this team has one of the most gifted quarterbacks in the league, the defense leads the way here. Right now, the Chargers allow 283.1 total yards per game, 3rd third-fewest in the NFL. Also, UNDER went in 4 of the last 6 games LAC played.
Texans vs. Chargers Head to Head
There had been only 10 games between these two teams, and the Chargers won 6 times, while the Texans won 4.
Texans vs. Chargers Predictions
We will go with the Chargers, because their form is excellent. Don’t get us wrong, the Texans also play superbly, but we didn’t like what we saw last weekend against the Raiders. Plus, the Chargers play at home.
