Texans vs Browns Preview and Free Pick

The playoff hopeful Houston Texans play host to another team vying for a playoff birth on Sunday. The Texans are 8-6 and the Browns are 9-5. If Cleveland wins this game and some other teams lose they can actually clinch a playoff spot. You can see that scenario here.

Houston Texans

With their backup QB Case Keenum, the Texans strolled into Nashville and handed the Titans a loss in OT. Defensive end Jonathan Greenard emerged as a standout, leading the team in total pressures and boasting the best pass-rush win rate. Defensive tackle Maliek Collins also made significant contributions, securing two crucial sacks.

Cleveland Browns

The Browns defeated the Bears and avoided a Hail-Mary shocker last weekend. Tight end David Njoku hauled in 10 catches for 104 yards and was the standout player on offense. Linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah had a sack and an INT to help the defense contain the Bears offense.

Texans vs Browns Matchup

The Texans are going with Case Keenum as their starter because C.J Stroud is still banged up. Sportsbook NFL odds has the Browns as 2.5 point favorites.

The Browns have won the last three times these two teams faced one another and I don’t think things will be any different this time around. The Browns are a solid football team at most positions and the Texans are not that good without their star QB on the field. I think you will see Keenum struggle some against the superior defense. Take the Browns to win and cover in this game. Bet them now at BetUS.com, the top rated sportsbook online.
