Houston is 1-3 straight up (SU) against NFC teams this season, winning 19-13 in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears in a game which was a push as a 6-point favorite. The Texans are 2-1-1 against the spread (ATS) vs. NFC teams this season, while the Under is 3-0-1 in those contests.

The Texans (6-4) blew a 16-point halftime lead to the Detroit Lions last week, suffering their third loss in their last four games. They still hold a comfortable two-game cushion in the AFC South – which is more like a three-game lead since they’ve already swept the second-place Colts.
