The Houston Texans will beat the New England Patriots. The New England Patriots will cover the spread, and the total will go over.

When examining the offensive capabilities of both teams, it’s clear that the Texans need to step up their game to secure a win. The Patriots are currently averaging approximately 28.1 points per game, which provides them with a significant edge in scoring. Their efficiency in the passing game, completing around 72 percent of their attempts, presents a notable challenge for the Texans’ defense. Even though the Texans yield fewer points at 23.8 per game, their inability to match the Patriots in offensive firepower could be a concern.

Furthermore, both teams demonstrate a solid rushing attack. The Patriots average about 129.8 rushing yards per game, which complements their passing proficiency and contributes heavily to their scoring potential. Meanwhile, the Texans manage approximately 108.9 yards on the ground, which is respectable but not enough to create a significant imbalance. Given the projections of better overall scoring from the Patriots and their ability to cover the spread based on recent trends, expect a final score that reflects a high-energy game, likely pushing the total points over the set line.
