Both teams are 3-1 but their games against Jacksonville are the marker. Buffalo crushed the Jaguars 47-10 while Houston scrapped by, winning by just 4 points the week after. 

The Houston defence hasn’t been put to the test in the air like they will in this matchup and even with their weaker schedule they have allowed their opponents to score 6 touchdowns to wide receivers, the fourth most in the league. 

Josh Allen’s offence will fire at the Texans and we can expect the near-perfect Khalil Shakir to have a big game against the Houston secondary.

  • The Texans average 23.5 points against this season, ranked 21st in the NFL.
  • The Bills average the second most points per game in the NFL, scoring an average of 30.5 per game.
  • The Texans have conceded the 4th most touchdowns to wide receivers in the NFL with 6 this season.
  • Khalil Shakir has had 19 targets for 18 receptions this season for Buffalo.

Buffalo Bills Form


The Bills got rushed off the field against the Ravens in Monday Night Football in week 4 with both Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson too much for the Buffalo run defence to contain, losing the match 35-10 with 271 rushing yards against.

Plenty are saying that the Bills are in strife after that performance but no team has held the Ravens under 150 rushing yards this season, and they also put 270 yards on the Cowboys the week prior. It is not a great look but the Bills are not in trouble.

QB Josh Allen struggled against the Ravens with just 180 yards, however, his experience and poise shone through, not casting the ball into the mouths of the defence while under pressure which the old Allen would do and has still not thrown an interception in 4 weeks.

Houston Texans Form


Two weeks ago, Houston were the victim of this surprise attack of the Vikings on the rest of the NFL, but they bounced back nicely taking down division rivals Jacksonville, who are 0-4 though. 

QB C.J Stroud put his two-interception game behind him by throwing 2 touchdowns and 345 yards, connecting with Nico Collins for 12 receptions and 151 yards. 

I personally, are still not sold on the Texans in 2024. Their strength of schedule has been on the lighter side and they have squeezed by with one-score victories in all three of their wins against the Colts, Bears and now Jags. 

Joe Mixon is a good chance to return for the Texans this week which will be a boost.
