Texans Prepare to Challenge Seahawks in Monday Night Showdown
LAS VEGAS — The Houston Texans aim to build on their momentum as they head to Seattle to face the Seahawks on Monday night. The game kicks off at 9 p.m. on ESPN.
The Texans, currently holding a 2-3 record, have shown steady improvement, especially on offense. Quarterback CJ Stroud has been impressive lately, completing 47 out of 59 passes for six touchdowns over the last two games. The Texans have not turned the ball over during this stretch.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks bring a 4-2 record into the match. However, they have struggled at home since 2021, with a sub-.500 record at home. Their defense has been solid but inconsistent, allowing the Texans to see an opportunity to exploit.
As the game approaches, the line shifted slightly to favor the Seahawks by three points. Analysts believe this indicates a possible advantage for Houston, as they come in with strong defensive stats, boasting the lowest points allowed in the NFL at an average of 12.2 per game.
The matchup features two of the league’s top-rated offenses in terms of points-per-play margin. The Texans rank third with a 5.3 average while the Seahawks sit at tenth with a 3.5 rating.
A reported edge goes to the Texans, as they find themselves in a situation where their defense can effectively challenge the Seahawks’ scoring. If they can pull off the upset or at least cover the spread, it would be a significant achievement for Houston. A win or close game would indeed be “dy-NO-mite!” as expected from the predicted outcome.
