Houston Texans Betting: How to Bet on this Team

Now on this Houston Texans Betting page, let’s check out the different ways in which you can place a bet on this team:

Moneyline

The moneyline is the simplest of bets, decided by the straight-up winner and loser of each game. Consider the following example:

  • Vikings -105
  • Texans +110

The Texans are considered slight underdogs in this matchup (indicated by +110), paying out $210 total for a $100 bet ($110 in winnings). The Vikings are the favorites in this matchup, requiring a $105 bet to win $100 (plus the initial bet back). How much either team wins or loses by does not matter in moneyline betting, the payout remains the same.

Point spread

Betting on the point spread is determinant of how many points a team wins or loses by. Take the following example:

  • Texans -4.5 (-110)
  • Jaguars +4.5 (-110)

In this example, Houston is favored by 4.5 points, indicated by “-4.5.” If the Texans win the game 27-20, the Texans (-4.5) win the bet and would have a total payout of $19.09 on a $10 bet ($9.09 in profit). If the Jaguars keep the game within five and lose 34-30, the Jaguars (+4.5) would win, and the payout would be the same as listed above.

Point total (over/under)

The point total refers to the over/under line set by books. This number projects the total number of points scored in a game and, like prop betting, is bet whether one thinks the score will go over or under the set point total. For example, the Texans matchup with the Cleveland Browns had a projected point total of 53.5 points. The Texans lost that game 10-7, which resulted in just 17 total points. Those who bet the under on the over/under would have cashed out.

Houston had some serious defensive issues in 2020, ranking 27th in the NFL in points allowed per game (29). Coupled with an explosive offense led by Deshaun Watson, the Texans frequently saw lofty projected point totals. Over/unders set between 58 and 62 points weren’t uncommon for Houston this past season. Should Watson leave for another team, their projected point totals could dip in 2021.

Houston Texans Brief History

Born in 2002 as an expansion team, they are, as of 2019, the youngest NFL franchise. The city of Houston was a favorite to get the 32nd NFL team, competing against Los Angeles and Toronto. And, on October 6, 1999, the league decided to finally grant Houston the rights to get the new franchise, at a cost of $700 million.

The team is a replacement for the Oilers, a franchise that moved to Nashville, where they are now known as the Titans. The Texans struggled during its first years in the league and finally acquired some success in 2011. That was the year when they managed to clinch their first playoff berth, and also the year when they acquired their first division title. The team went on to win four more AFC South titles in 2012, 2015, 2016, and 2018. With that said, as of 2018, they remain the only franchise in the NFL to have not appeared in a conference title game.

Houston Texans Team Rivalries

Despite being the youngest NFL franchise, the team already holds rivalries with the Titans, the Colts, the Cowboys, and the Jaguars.

Tennessee Titans

According to many fans, the Titans, who used to be known as the Houston Oilers until the ’90s, is the top rival for this team. And they are direct rivals in the AFC South.

Indianapolis Colts

This franchise also holds an important rivalry with another AFC South team, the Colts. Indy is actually a team the Texans always had a hard time defeating. In fact, they were able to get a victory over the Colts until 2015. The bitterness between the two franchises has escalated recently due to Andrew Luck, a Houston native, being picked by the Colts at the 2012 NFL draft.

Dallas Cowboys

This team also has an intra-estate/inter-conference rivalry with the Cowboys, with whom they play the Governor’s Cup every single year (this is a tradition that was born before the Oilers relocated).
