The Texans will be in front of their home fans on Sunday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-field advantage. They will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. The pair worked hard to overcome the odds in their previous battles and are surely both feeling confident heading into this clash.
Last Sunday, everything went the Texans' way against the Jaguars as the Texans made off with a 37-17 victory.
The Texans can attribute much of their success to Tank Dell, who picked up 145 receiving yards and a touchdown, and C.J. Stroud, who threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns. Dell was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 68 yards.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh was not the first on the board last Sunday, but they got there more often. They snuck past the Raiders with a 23-18 victory.
Kenny Pickett looked great while leading his team to the win, throwing for 235 yards and two touchdowns.
The Steelers' defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB four times. Leading the way was T.J. Watt and his two sacks.
Their wins bumped Houston to 1-2 and Pittsburgh to 2-1.
The two teams pleased both fans and bettors in their last matchups by winning and covering the spread. Looking ahead, the Steelers are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by three points. This will be their first time playing as the favorites on the road this season.
