Texans On Fire Entering Week 7 Showdown
This season has gone close to perfectly for the Houston Texans entering Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers. Houston is 5-1 so far this season, with their lone loss coming against a Minnesota Vikings team that has yet to lose a game themselves in 2024. While the flashy passing of CJ Stroud and all of his receiving targets has grabbed most of the headlines, it has been the defense of the Texans that has stolen the show this year. Houston has allowed 21 or fewer points in four of their last five games and they will look to shut down Jordan Love and the Packers here as well.
Packers Look For Fifth Win In Six Games
The Green Bay Packers are also above .500 this season, boasting a record of 4-2 heading into this Texans vs Packers clash. Green Bay has won four of their last five games, including their Week 6 game at home against the Arizona Cardinals. The Packers will look to take advantage of some injuries to the Texans receiving corps, as the dynamic Nico Collins was placed on injured reserve before Week 6. That should allow the Packers to allocate more attention to stopping Stefon Diggs and the rest of the weapons that Houston has in its arsenal.
Texans vs Packers Betting Prediction
Our best bet for Texans vs Packers is for the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread as a home favorite. While the Texans looked very good without Collins in their matchup with the Patriots, the Packers are a much different level of opponent. Look for that and the fact that Houston is playing on the road for the second straight week to make a huge difference in a game that could be a Super Bowl matchup in the not-too-distant future.
