Will the Bills stay hot on the heels of the Pats?

Superman is coming to Texas. At least if we take last Sunday as a benchmark, Josh Allen is currently the measure of all things in the NFL and could also dominate the matchup in our Texans vs. Bills tip.

However, consistency has not been on the Bills’ side so far this season. It has been more on the Texans’ side – but only defensively. No other defense in the NFL allows fewer points than the Texans. That has been enough for five wins so far, however they came about.

Against the Bills, however, defense alone is unlikely to be enough. Much will depend for Houston on whether C. J. Stroud will be able to play again after his concussion. If he is available, Houston could make the game reasonably even. If he continues to be sidelined, then we see a bleak outlook for the home team.

All in all, our prediction for Texans vs. Bills is an away win for the Bills in both cases, who also desperately need to win in order to avoid falling irretrievably behind in the battle for the AFC East. The Texans have already squandered their chance at the division title with their weak start to the season.

Kick-off for Thursday Night’s matchup is at 2:15 a.m. on Friday in Houston. The game, which will be broadcast on DAZN, opens NFL Game Day 12, bringing us to the home stretch of the NFL season.

Houston Texans – Buffalo Bills Head-to-head comparison / H2H record

The Texans have been surprisingly strong at home against the Bills in recent years, winning the last five games in Texas. In between, however, there was a 40-0 thrashing in Buffalo in 2021. Incidentally, Davis Mills was also on the field as quarterback for the Texans at that time.

He threw four interceptions in that game, and if Stroud does not leave the concussion protocol by Thursday, it could end bitterly for Houston once again. Mills will certainly still have this game against the Bills on his mind.

So it’s important to keep an eye on the news, as the Bills’ handicap will certainly increase again if Stroud is unable to play. Until then, however, the betting odds for Buffalo -4.5 in Texans vs. Bills are excellent. If the handicap increases, we recommend betting on Bills + under points as an alternative.

Houston Texans – Buffalo Bills Tip

With a short week and a Thursday night game, it has often been the case recently that players with concussions have not recovered in time. Therefore, we are now assuming that Davis Mills will play in our main tip.

The Texans defense will be able to keep the game low-scoring overall (as they did recently against the Titans), but we don’t expect them to reach the 20-point mark themselves. So for Houston vs. Buffalo, the odds on the Bills -4.5 are definitely our first recommendation, followed by a bet on under 20.5 Texans points.

Due to the Texans’ quarterback situation, a player bet is only possible for the Bills. Here, we consider a TD bet on James Cook to be promising. He has already scored seven rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown this season.
