The rampaging Detroit Lions (7-1) visit the Houston Texans (6-3). Our Lions vs Texans prediction is for the favored road team Detroit to cover the 3.5-point spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Detroit has won six straight and has been, at times, dominant seemingly putting up points at will. Houston has had 10 days off since losing to the Jets on Thursday Night Football and will be without key pieces of their offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Head-to-head, Houston has won four of the five meetings between the teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In three of those wins, they scored 42 or more points. In Week 9, they traveled to Green Bay to play their historic rivals the Packers, and won easily 24-14. Only a late Packers touchdown made the score seem closer than it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steered by quarterback Jared Goff on his way to a possible MVP season, they lead the NFL<\/a> in points per game. They are also first in takeaway differential at +11. They rely on their running game led by Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown is a weapon who has been so good, he’s literally standing on his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n |
