Texans vs. Vikings Head-to-Head Stats

These two franchises have met five times so far with the Vikings winning all five.

Before Betting

The Texans hosted the Bears at home on Sunday Night Football last weekend, beating the NFC rivals 19-13.

It was a hard-fought win, with the Texans showing their defensive prowess. They stopped the Bears in the final two possessions, limiting them to just three points from the field goal kick.

CJ Stroud had 260 passing yards for one touchdown, and even though he suffered three sacks for 25 negative yards, the young quarterback kept his composure until the end of the game. His one touchdown toss was to Nico Collins, who had a fantastic 135 receiving yards in this match.

A special shoutout goes to the defense of the Texans, which had seven sacks.

Elsewhere, the Vikings scalped another conference rival.

After beating the Giants on the road, they defeated the San Francisco 49ers; the current NFC champions, 23-17 on Sunday.

Sam Darnold played solid, throwing for 268 yards and two TDs with one pick, but the defense was the game-changer.

We might, in fact, say defense decided the game. They sacked Brock Purdy six times, picked him once, and recovered a fumble he made. The young quarterback had one of the worst experiences of his career.

Texans vs. Vikings Prediction

Despite the Vikings’ solid backline, we actually think the Texans’ defense is slightly better.

Darnold sure did play well against the 49ers, yet he was sacked too many times and had poor ball protection, which is why he fumbled twice.

It’s time for the Vikings’ winning streak to end, which we think will happen against Houston.
