Texans at Steelers Betting Prediction

Nevertheless, despite the fact that the Texans have already taken part in the Hall of Fame Game, this will be regarded their “Week 1” preseason game at this point in time. Houston has been on the rise thanks in large part to C.J. Stroud, who is presently the reigning NFL Rookie of the Year. Stroud is responsible for Houston’s success, which includes winning the AFC South and a playoff game in the previous season. On the other hand, it is not quite obvious whether he will take part in this game after he did not play in the Hall of Fame Game.

Due to the fact that they were able to acquire quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields during the summer, the Pittsburgh Steelers have become one of the most exciting teams to watch during the preseason portion of the season. The head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin, has claimed that Wilson is in the “pole position” to be the starting quarterback for this game. Tomlin made this statement. Nevertheless, the Steelers have not yet made their plans public or divulged them.

There is no doubt that Fields will make an appearance at some point during the preseason, and it is even feasible that he will do so this week.

Texans at Steelers Betting Prediction: Houston

The first is our Houston Texans vs. Steelers betting prediction.

The Texans had a fantastic start to a preseason game against the Bears, but they fell 21-17 to end up with a 0-1 record. At the half, Houston led 17–14, but they were unable to score in the second half. As the Texans were playing on the road, their advantage was still -2.5 even though the Bears won this game straight up.

There was a 32.5 over/under on the wager, with the teams scoring 38 points in total. Houston’s lone touchdown came off a Davis Mills pass to Teagan Quitoriano with 8:45 remaining in the first quarter. In the second quarter, a Houston field goal gave the Bears a two-point advantage.

Texans Offense Breakdown

The Texans’ offense had trouble maintaining drives in their 21-17 loss against the Bears; they only managed 15 first downs and a 25% third-down conversion rate. Nonetheless, they were able to identify the endzone twice with success from the air. In the end, Houston only mustered 54 rushing yards on 21 attempts, while Davis Mills was their top thrower with 10/13 throws for 102 yards and one touchdown.

J.J. Taylor led the team in rushing yards with 16, and Xavier Hutchinson was the team’s best receiver with 56 yards on five catches. A 20-yard pass from Mills to Hutchinson was the Texans’ lone passing touchdown. Houston’s offense was able to avoid turnovers and surrender only one sack over the entire game.

Texans Team Defense

It was challenging for the defense to get off the field as the Bears converted 50% of the Texans’ third-down efforts. Despite only giving up 13 first downs and 3 throwing touchdowns, the Texans lost 21–17. Houston allowed the Bears to gain 9.6 yards per pass attempt, while Chicago finished with 192 passing yards on 15 completions.

One of the Texans’ biggest issues was their inability to generate a pass rush; ultimately, they only mustered three quarterback hits and zero sacks. Although the Texans prevailed in the turnover war, they still allowed the Bears to score three touchdowns through the air.

Steelers Offense Breakdown

In spite of being 23rd in yards per game (294), the Steelers’ offensive was third in the NFL in preseason scoring previous year, averaging 26 points per game. They showed that they heavily relied on the running game as they were third in rushing attempts and tenth in rushing yards. In the throwing game, they finished 25th in yards and 22nd in attempts.
