Head-to-Head

The Patriots and Texans might not be in the same division, but the AFC counterparts have met four times since 2017. The Patriots had won three straight — until getting upended by the Texans 28-22 the last time they met back on Dec. 1. Houston has covered the spread in two of the last three meetings while the home team in this rivalry has gone a blistering 9-2-1 ATS over the last dozen meetings.

The Patriots are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings, but just 1-3-1 ATS in their last five road dates against the Texans. Over/Under total betting enthusiasts should know the Over is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings and 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Houston.

Last Game

New England was in complete desperation mode in an NFL Week 10 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Patriots came up huge by picking up a surprising 23-17 upset win to cash in as a 7-point home dog as Cam Newton passed for one touchdown and ran for another. Damien Harris rushed for 121 yards to help the Pats keep Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense on the sidelines while defensive back JC Jackson picked off the reigning league MVP in the win.

Stats Pack

New England ranks 19th in total offense, 29th in passing, a stellar third in rushing, and 27th in scoring (21.0 ppg). Defensively, the Patriots are ranked 13th overall, 10th against the pass, 24th against the run, and 11th in points allowed (23.4 ppg).

The Patriots might have a serious lack of talent at the skill positions, but second-year wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is blossoming. Meyers has hauled in at least five catches in three straight games while adding a huge TD pass last weekend. Oh yeah…and then there’s the fact that Cam Newton hasn’t thrown an interception in three straight games.

Last Game

Houston put up a fight and almost pulled off the upset in their 10-7 road loss against the Cleveland Browns in Sunday’s NFL matchup, although the Texans did manage to cover the spread as a 4.5-point underdog … with the help of Nick Chubb.

Deshaun Watson completed 20-of-30 passes for 163 yards with one TD toss and no picks, but the Houston defense gave up 126 rushing yards to Chubb and 104 yards to Kareem Hunt as the pair of Browns running backs became the first duo to tp the century mark in the same game since Jim Brown and LeRoy Kelly did so for the franchise way in 1966.

Okay NFL betting nation. Quick question. What are the NFL online betting odds that the Pittsburgh Steelers go undefeated in 2020?

Stats Pack

The Texans are ranked 20th in total offense, eighth in passing, an awful 31st in rushing and 25th in scoring (22.2 ppg). Defensively, Houston is ranked 29th overall, 18th against the pass, dead last (32nd) against the run and 26th in points allowed (28.0 ppg).

It’s a shame that Watson has to do, literally, everything all by himself for Houston, but the former Clemson national championship winner is doing just that. Watson has thrown an impressive nine TD passes over the last four games without tossing a single interception.
