Detroit Lions vs Houston Texans Prediction & Picks - NFL
by Dan Angell | in NFL Picks
The Detroit Lions (7-1 SU, 7-1 ATS) visit the Houston Texans (6-3 SU, 3-5-1 ATS) in their second consecutive road game and fourth in five weeks. Playing away from Ford Field hasn’t been any kind of hindrance to the Lions, as they’ve dominated for six weeks in a row. They’ve picked up a pair of wins in their division, and they’re now looking like a favorite to claim the top spot in the NFC.
Houston seems to be in kind of no-man’s land along with Buffalo. The Texans are good enough to dominate their division and claim a top-four seed, but they won’t be challenging the Chiefs for supremacy in the AFC this season. With the three teams behind them just kind of bumbling along, Houston really seems to just be playing out the string to a No. 4 seed.

Our Detroit Lions vs Houston Texans Prediction
Detroit’s defense has mostly done what is necessary, holding four of its past six opponents to 14 points or less. The Lions’ schedule is proving pretty impressive, as their only loss came at home to Tampa Bay and they’ve won at their two biggest rivals in their own division as well as NFC West leader Arizona.
Houston has mostly filled up its wins on lesser squads in the AFC. While the Texans are a six-win team and capable of playing good football, only the home win over Buffalo can truly be considered a good win. Otherwise, their best win is a rapidly sinking Indianapolis. The pressure just isn’t on the Texans to perform, with the Colts now essentially four games behind them at just over halfway through the season. Our prediction for Detroit vs. Houston is Lions -4.
