Texans Emerge as Top AFC Contenders
Houston defeated the Patriots last week, winning by 20 points in a game they controlled from start to finish. At 5-1, the Texans sit behind only the 5-0 Chiefs in the AFC. They hold a two-game lead over the 3-3 Colts and currently have the highest chance of winning their division of any team in the NFL. Houston and QB C.J. Stroud will be aiming to keep their momentum going on Sunday. They face a tougher task on the road in Green Bay.
Packers Keep Winning as QBs Flip
Jordan Love threw four touchdown passes, and the Packers defeated the Cardinals 34-13 on Sunday. It was a resounding win for Green Bay, and one that allowed them to keep pace with a stunningly competitive NFC North division. At 4-2, the Packers are tied in last place with the 4-2 Bears. They are within striking distance of the 4-1 Lions and 5-0 Vikings. Green Bay will look for Love to post another strong result against the Texans.
Texans vs Packers Prediction: Green Bay Held Up by Home Crowd
This game is one of Week 7’s premier matchups, featuring two teams that are likely to make the postseason. The Texans hold the better record, but enter this game as the underdogs on the road. They are 1-1 against the NFC North so far, with the loss being a 34-7 road defeat in Minnesota. They need to avoid a repeat of that result in Green Bay. The Packers won’t run away with this one, but they should claim the win at home. We’ll say 29-26.
