The Texans haven’t played since Oct. 5. On that day, the Texans dismantled the Lamar Jackson-less Baltimore Ravens 44-10.
Through five games, the Texans’ defense has been historically dominant. Houston is ranked first in scoring defense at 12.2 points per game. Only the 2000 Ravens (10.3 points per game) and 2000 Titans (11.9) have had better scoring defenses at this point in the season.
The Texans’ defense could get back two key players: defensive end Denico Autry and safety Jaylen Reed. Both had their 21-day practice windows open.
Houston’s offense got off to a rocky start, finishing with less than 11 points in two of its first three games.
Over their last two games, the Texans have outscored their opponents 70-10. During that stretch, C.J. Stroud has looked like the quarterback from his elite rookie season with 477 yards and six touchdowns.
Speaking of good quarterback play, Sam Darnold is picking up where he left off in the 2024 season. Darnold has thrown for 1,541 yards, 11 touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Darnold’s favorite target, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, leads the league with 696 yards receiving.
It’s a small sample size, but the Seahawks are a different team at home than on the road under Mike Macdonald. At home, Seattle is 4-8 SU and 3-9 ATS. On the road, the Seahawks are 10-1 SU and 7-3-1 ATS.
That’s an alarming trend. I’ll side with the Texans, the best defense in the NFL, to keep this close.
Pick: Texans +3.5 (-118)
Texans vs. Seahawks Prop
Zach Charbonnet is getting more carries than Kenneth Walker III.
However, Walker has been the better runner — 364 yards to Charbonnet’s 156 yards.
Houston boasts the seventh-ranked rushing defense (90.6 yards per game). This is the week Walker should receive the bulk of the carries, leaving Charbonnet less work. I’ll take the under on rushing yards.
Pick: Zach Charbonnet Under 40.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
