Game Preview: Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Texans
The National Football League (NFL) continues its exciting season with Week 12 featuring a matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Houston Texans on Thursday, November 20. The game will take place at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, starting at 1:15 AM GMT on Friday.
Team Performance
The Buffalo Bills (7-3) have had a rollercoaster season but showed signs of form last week with a thrilling 44-32 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite a tough 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins in their previous game, quarterback Josh Allen was instrumental, passing for three touchdowns and running for another three.
Meanwhile, the Houston Texans (5-5) have shown improvement after starting the season with a poor record of 0-3. They’ve won two consecutive games but struggled against the league’s worst team, the Tennessee Titans, winning by just 16-13 last week. The Texans’ defense is a strong point, ranking first in the NFL for yards allowed at just 258.1 per game.
Betting Tips and Predictions
For those looking to place bets, the best option seems to be on Under 43.5 points with Coral and Ladbrokes, offering odds of 1pt. This prediction suggests that the game may not produce a high-scoring affair.
The Bills’ home win over Tampa Bay was their first since October, and they are likely looking for a strong performance to maintain their playoff hopes. However, they will face a solid Houston team in the opening contest of Week 12.
The Texans have conceded just 16.3 points per game on average this season but may be without their primary quarterback, CJ Stroud, due to concussion.
While Allen should perform better against Houston’s defense than he did last season when restricted to just 131 passing yards, the total points line might prove a bit high. This could result in another close and relatively low-scoring clash similar to Houston’s previous game where they won 23-20.
