Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Texans: Week 5 Prediction and Odds
Date: 2024-10-02 Author: Robert Beloved Categories: SPORTS BETTING
The Buffalo Bills suffered one of their worst losses since November 2021 last weekend. They are looking to bounce back, but the matchup against Houston at NRG Stadium promises to be tough, as the team hasn’t won there in 18 years.
Can Buffalo forget last week’s loss?
The Buffalo Bills must quickly put their 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens behind them if they are to contend for a win against the Texans. However, to avoid repeating the mistakes of the previous match, they need to work on their mistakes, especially in the offense, which has unexpectedly lost ground after a strong start to the season.
Although the Buffalo Bills averaged 37.3 points per game in their first three games, their offense was under serious pressure against Baltimore. The Ravens defense pressed hard, and it paid off, holding the Bills to just 10 points.
Quarterback Josh Allen was not the worst performer, completing 16 of 29 passes for 180 yards and no interceptions. However, none of his passes resulted in touchdowns, and running back Ty Johnson scored the only touchdowns.
Houston Texans Enjoying the 2024 Season
Last season was a triumph for Houston, when the team made the playoffs for the first time in four years. Young quarterback C.J. Stroud, who only started his NFL career last year, continues to impress with his play. The team has shown great chemistry on the field, which is reflected in their results.
Although they suffered a 34-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings two weeks ago, it hasn’t thrown them off their game. Houston beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-20 last week, and Stroud was excellent, completing 27 of 40 passes for 345 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions.
Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Texans Predictions
Both teams are expected to focus on the passing game, which usually leads to a lot of points on both sides. However, Buffalo, looking to bounce back from last week’s setback, has a good chance of winning if Josh Allen and his teammates can perform at their best.
