Houston @ Dallas
Current Records: Houston 1-10-1; Dallas 9-3
What to Know
The Houston Texans will face off against the Dallas Cowboys on the road at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at AT&T Stadium. Dallas should still be feeling good after a victory, while the Texans will be looking to right the ship.
Houston came up short against the Cleveland Browns this past Sunday, falling 27-14. QB Kyle Allen had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: despite one touchdown, he threw two interceptions and fumbled the ball once with only 5.15 yards per passing attempt.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys took their game at home this past Sunday with ease, bagging a 54-19 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Dallas can attribute much of their success to RB Tony Pollard, who punched in two rushing touchdowns. Pollard's performance made up for a slower contest against the New York Giants two weeks ago.
Dallas' defense was a force to be reckoned with, as it collected three interceptions and two fumbles. CB DaRon Bland picked up that interception and then proceeded to rub salt in the wound by taking it back the other way for a touchdown.
Houston is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Now might not be the best time to take the Texans against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past four consecutive games.
Houston's defeat took them down to 1-10-1 while Dallas' victory pulled them up to 9-3. Giving up four turnovers, Houston had had trouble holding onto the ball. We'll see if the Cowboys can exploit that vulnerability.
