The Texans are on a 10-game winning streak and their defence has been the common thread. In the Wild Card round they dismantled Pittsburgh, holding them to just six points while scoring twice themselves. Aaron Rodgers managed only 146 passing yards at 4.4 yards per attempt as Houston generated constant pressure and controlled field position.
That same blueprint applies here. New England’s offence has firepower, but when they faced elite defensive speed last week the cracks showed. The Patriots scored just 16 points, went 4-for-11 on third down, 0-for-3 in the red zone, and Drake Maye absorbed five sacks. Houston don’t allow comfortable, methodical drives — they compress space, force long-yardage situations, and capitalise on mistakes.
This game shapes as a grind from the opening kick. With both defences ranking top-six against the run and top-ten against the pass, points should be scarce. That makes the Under appealing and also brings the “field goal first score” market into play as teams prioritise early points.
If New England fall behind the chains, Houston’s pass rush becomes decisive. Will Anderson Jr continues to anchor a front that creates pressure without selling out, giving the Texans a clear path to another road upset.
