Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys will decide which Texas team will have bragging rights in the next few years. This state rivalry deserved to be on Monday Night Football, even though many think there were better games. However, these two units are ready for war, as each has its own goal.
Houston Texans News
The Texans are 6-3, and they are still in the postseason zone, though; they need a win here to avoid any complications in their NFL playoff hunt. When mentioning complications, Houston’s head coach, DeMeco Ryans, can’t count on WR Stefon Diggs and DE Will Anderson Jr.
All eyes now will be pointed toward RB Joe Mixon and his rushing game. The former Bengal has 655 yards on the ground with seven touchdowns. WR Nico Collins is expected to step up as well.
Dallas Cowboys News
Cowboys leader Dak Prescott is out, as are CB Jourdan Lewis and defensive star DE DeMarcus Lawrence. The only thing that could offer some hope for this unit is the news that WR CeeDee Lamb should be ready to play.
Lamb has four caught touchdowns and 681 receiving yards. His presence on the field will be a great relief to whichever quarterback starts the game. For many, Cooper Rush is the favorite, though we have to say that Trey Lance definitely deserves a chance.
Houston Texans vs. Dallas Cowboys Head to Head
This rivalry isn’t too long, and it saw only six matches, of which the Cowboys won four and the Texans just two.
Houston Texans vs. Dallas Cowboys Betting Tip
The Cowboys are banged up, and their problems with injuries simply erase any argument for betting on them. The biggest reason why we pick the Texans to win is that the hosts play with their backup quarterback. Meanwhile, Houston’s defense is pretty aggressive and very fluid.
