Texans at Vikings picks and predictions
Texas 24, Vikings 21
BET TEXANS (-125
The Texans have the more trustworthy quarterback at the helm of the attack. They have won both games this season and did so in drastically different ways, going for over 150 yards on the ground in the first week and then topping 200 through the air the second.
They have a capable defense that should be able to pressure QB Sam Darnold into making mistakes, as he has throughout his career. Darnold has 2 interceptions on the season so far. Expect those turnover issues to be costly in this Week 3 battle.
(-125
Against the spread
.
There's no great value here as opposed to the moneyline. The ML takes some risk out of the equation, especially with how poorly the Texans have covered this season.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 46 (-110
The Under has been hot for these 2 teams this season. The Vikings have gone Under in both games and have yet to allow more than 17 points. They have allowed 23 through 2 games.
The Texans are averaging 24 points per game and are 1-1 O/U, allowing just 20 per game. Darnold likely won't be as explosive as Colts QB Anthony Richardson was in Week 1.
UNDER 46 (-110
