Despite their offense not yet clicking on all cylinders, the AFC South-leading Texans face a favorable matchup on Sunday against the Packers.The Houston Texans hit the road on Sunday, October 20, to take on the Green Bay Packers in a bout between a pair of playoff hopefuls.
Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, with the game airing on CBS.Houston checks out second in defensive DVOA and fourth in both pass-rush win rate and run-stop win rate. Defense travels, and the Packers will have their hands full with the Texans on Sunday afternoon.Landing the field-goal buffer with the Houston +3 spread is gravy, and I also like the Texans to pull off the road upset at Lambeau Field. Green Bay hasn't been up to the challenge against playoff-caliber teams this season.The Texans are 14-6 to the Under in regular-season games since the start of last season, and the Packers have allowed just 18.0 points per home game this year. As noted, I also like the Houston defense to hold the Green Bay offense in check.The Packers have faced two teams with a winning record through six weeks, and the Texans will be their third.

He should also benefit from the lack of a Green Bay pass rush that rank 30th in pass-rush win rate and 22nd in pass-rush grade, per On the flip side, I value Houston ranking second in defensive DVOA and fourth in both pass-rush win rate and run-stop win rate.is a proven and reliable pass-catcher out of the backfield and he’s cleared this receiving-yards benchmark in all three games this season — boasting eight receptions for 74 yards. The Packers have also surrendered the sixth-highest yards per target to opposing running backs this season. through the air and on the ground, and he’s been up to the task with 75 or more yards from scrimmage in five of six games and an average of 94.2 per to start the season. I also value that Jacobs has played 65% of the Green Bay offensive snaps while averaging 4.3 yards per rush, 7.2 yards per target, and 19.8 touches per game. : Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
