Patriots vs Texans Preview, Parlay Pick
Patriots Moneyline
New England has been one of the best stories in the NFL this season, and I expect them to continue their success this afternoon.
While Houston has been the hottest team in the NFL, their offense is in line to struggle in this matchup. Superstar wideout Nico Collins will miss today’s game, which will limit the Texans' offense.
The Patriots have been one of the best defensive units in football, and in a battle of two great defenses, we will trust the better quarterback and offense.
C.J. Stroud Over 19.5 Pass Completions
We will team up with our Action Pro Report for this prop.
The game script will support this play as I expect Houston to play most of the game from behind, forcing them to throw. Stroud has cashed this prop in six of his last eight games.
Our Action Pro Report projects 21 completions.
