Houston Texans @ Dallas Cowboys - November 18, 2024

As a die-hard fan of the game, I can’t tell you how excited I am for this matchup between our beloved Houston Texans and those Cowboys down the road. The atmosphere at AT&T Stadium is going to be electric, as these two Texas teams square off in what’s sure to be a nail-biter. So grab your lucky jersey, because it’s time to dive into some predictions!

First off, let’s talk about the Texans. They’ve had their ups and downs this season, but they come into this game with a solid record of 6-4 straight up. With an average of 22.4 points per game and a strong rushing attack that nets them about 119 yards per game at nearly 7 yards per attempt, they have the potential to put some serious pressure on Dallas’ defense. Plus, their passing game isn’t too shabby either—246.3 passing yards per game with a completion percentage hovering around 61%. They’ve shown resilience by covering the spread in four out of their last six games.

Now, let’s not forget about our friends in blue—the Dallas Cowboys. Sitting at 3-6 straight up and having lost four games in a row? Ouch! Their offensive stats paint a rather grim picture: averaging only about 19.7 points per game with just over 245 passing yards and an underwhelming rushing performance of around 83 yards each outing—not exactly what you want from America’s Team! And if that wasn’t enough to worry about, they’re also struggling against the spread lately with just one cover in their last eight games.

In terms of expectations for tonight’s showdown, I believe we’re going to see Houston come out swinging hard right from the get-go. They’ve proven themselves capable despite being underdogs—having covered against better opponents recently—and I think they’ll do it again tonight. Yes, they might face challenges playing away from home (they’re only 2-4 against the spread on the road), but if there was ever a time for them to shine on national television and make us proud—it’s now!

So here’s my prediction: The Texans will edge out a win against the Cowboys tonight! It might be close—maybe even decided by just one score—but they have momentum on their side while Dallas is reeling from recent losses.

Now when it comes to covering spreads—keep your eyes peeled; I expect Dallas will manage that much even if they lose outright due to being favored by two points at kickoff.

Finally, looking at that total set at 50.5? Well folks, get ready for some fireworks because I think we’ll see more than enough scoring action tonight! Both offenses have shown flashes throughout the season so don’t be surprised if we hit OVER that number comfortably.

All in all? Buckle up for an exciting night full of Texas pride as our Texans aim high! Let’s go get that W!
