Thinking of betting Bears-Texans on 'Sunday Night Football'? Here's what you need to know to help your chances.
Tyler Fulghum details why he likes the under for D'Andre Swift's rushing yards when the Bears take on the Texans on Sunday.
Coming off a 3-13-1 campaign, the Texans drafted Stroud No. 2 overall in 2023 and went from the AFC South basement to division champs last season. The Bears, coming off a 7-10 season in which they tied with Minnesota for the worst mark in the NFC North, are hoping for a similar turnaround under their first-year quarterback.
While Stround and the Texans' passing attack were effective against the Colts, Houston leaned heavily on Mixon to lead the offense on the ground, and he responded with a career-high 30 carries for 159 yards and a touchdown. Defenses have to respect Stroud's elite passing, giving Mixon light fronts that he can exploit with his powerful running.
On the other side of the ball, rookie quarterback Williams struggled through the air against the Titans in his regular-season debut, completing14 of 29 passes for only 93 yards despite facing a defense that ranks 21st in the NFL with a defensive FPI score of -0.3. The Texans are stronger on that side of the ball, ranking 11th in the league in defensive FPI. In Week 1, they heldto only 9-for-19 passing for 212 yards, with more than half of that yardage coming on two long touchdown passes.
"Sunday Night Football" unders are 27-10 over the last three seasons. Prime-time unders are 71-44-1 during that span.The Bears are 11-17 ATS as underdogs under head coach Matt Eberflus .
