Texans vs Patriots Head-to-Head Stats
The Texans are 3-11 all-time against the Patriots.
Texans Have a Winning Way
The Texans are 4-1 overall, sitting first in the AFC South, and have won two games in a row. This team boasts a 4-1 record despite having a -12 point differential. Their schedule has included a mix of good, bad, and decent teams. All their games have been closely contested, except for a 34-7 blowout loss on the road to the Vikings. Recently, Houston defeated the Buffalo Bills 23-20.
It was a hard-fought win for the Texans. They had a 17-3 lead at halftime, but the Bills made a push in the third quarter, forcing the Houston defense to step up in the fourth. The Texans recorded 425 yards of offense and performed well on third downs. Their passing defense held Josh Allen to a 9-21 stat line on the day. Their biggest flaw was committing two turnovers, which they’ll aim to improve upon in New England.
Pats Losing Streak Hits Four Games
The New England Patriots are 1-4 overall, last in the AFC East, and have lost four games in a row, including an 0-2 record at home. The offense is averaging around 12 ppg while giving up about 20. They showed some promise in the first two weeks of the season, but are still trying to address issues on both sides of the ball. They most recently lost to the Dolphins, 15-10.
It was a winnable game at home against another struggling offensive team, but they couldn’t get it done. New England was decent in third-down conversions, but they committed 105 yards in penalties. Not only have they struggled to score, but they also extend opponents’ drives with costly penalties. The defense has been solid, but not nearly good enough to carry the entire team on its back.
Texans vs Patriots Prediction
The Texans have been in close games for most of the season, especially over the last two weeks. However, they won’t have to worry about that this week. Houston is 4-1 and trending upward, while the Patriots are quickly trending downward and showing no signs of getting their offense on track. Most of the New England’s scoring opportunities will likely come from mistakes made by the Texans, if they even make any. Houston should win this matchup.
