Where i see this game being won is through the Detroit run game. Texans opponents have opted to throw the ball at a 58% rate but have had trouble piercing the defence with Houston allowing just 167 pass yards per game.

On the ground though they give up 4.7 yards per carry to opposition runners . Detroit are 7th in the league in Yards per Rush Attempt gaining 4.9 per play. Jahmyr Gibbs (6.4 y/a) is the impact runner getting them out of trouble or across for that first down while David Montgomery is the go to guy for those early down yards. 

Houston will tire quickly against the relentless running attack which will allow the Lions to capitalise late in the game. The Texans will no doubt try their best but as we saw last Thursday against the Jets if Mixon is shut down their receiving corp is severely depleted.

Take Detroit to cover the line, Gibbs to go over his Longest Rush attempt and St Brown to get a TD with Houston allowing the highest percentage of passing TD’s of any team in the league.

  • The Texans give up 4.7 yards per attempt to opposition Runners 24th in the NFL.
  • Detroit are the 6th best Rushing team in yards per game and average 4.9 per play.
  • Jared Goff has thrown 2 or more touchdowns in 5 of 8 games this season.
  • Houston have a Opponent Passing Touchdown percentage of 79%, the highest in the league.

Detroit Lions Form


The Detroit Lions are one of the best teams in the NFL right now and come into this weekend with a 7-1 record and a 6 game win streak. In 2 of their last 3 games they have defeated division rivals Minnesota and Green Bay and sit atop the NFC North with a head start in the tie-breakers.

The Lions score the most points per game of any team with 32.3, helped largely by 3 games this season where they scored more than 40 points. It has largely been the one-two punch of their Running Back duo Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery that have delivered impact and sustained run pressure through all their games. This has allowed QB Jared Goff to excel in passing with a 74.9% completion rate on the season, the best of any QB in the league.

Defensively Detroit allow the 5th fewest points of any team in the league with their Rush Defence being especially strong allowing only 106 yards per game. Teams are opting to throw into the Lions secondary and even though they are gaining yards they are not scoring at a high enough click to beat this team. They are a genuine Superbowl threat.

Houston Texans Form


Houston have underwhelmed so far this season. It is not too uncommon for a 2nd year player who had a breakout Rookie year to recede somewhat in their follow up campaign. That is what we are seeing with CJ Stroud and the Texans as the high expectations of the team are not being met. 

That said the team is still 6-3 on the season and in a poor AFC South should not have a problem winning the division. They are 17th in scoring averaging 22.3 points per game while allowing opponents to post an average of 22.2 points. A more average team is hard to find.

Opponents choose to throw the ball on 58.51% of plays against the Texans but they are the 3rd best ranked team in opposition pass yards allowing only 167 per game. Their run defence is ranked 12th giving up 114 yards per game at 4.7 yards per carry, 24th in the NFL.
