Houston Surprising Start at .500

Following consecutive losses to the Ravens and Colts, the Houston Texans have rebounded impressively, averaging 33.5 points per game in victories over the Jaguars and Steelers.

The emergence of rookie quarterback CJ Stroud has been a highlight, as he has amassed over 1,200 passing yards and tossed six touchdowns, all without throwing a single interception so far this season. Stroud’s favorite targets, Nico Collins and Tank Dell, have collectively contributed nearly 700 yards and five touchdowns.

Stroud is setting new records for a rookie quarterback in the Houston Texans’ history, making him a strong contender for Offensive Rookie of the Year, despite not initially being considered in the NFL MVP odds at the start of the season.

While the Texans haven’t generated a high production level from their running game, Dameon Pierce has come through in crucial situations, accumulating 181 yards and a touchdown in four games.

Defensively, the Texans rank 11th in the league, allowing a mere 11.8 points per game. In Week 6, they will be at home, facing the New Orleans Saints, before enjoying a bye week in Week 7.

 

Atlanta Struggling to Score the Football

On the flip side, the Atlanta Falcons‘ loss in London was marred by a game-changing Desmond Ridder interception that returned for a touchdown, one of two interceptions Ridder threw during the game.

After averaging 24.5 points per game in their first two outings, the Falcons have struggled recently, managing just 6.5 points per game in their last two contests.

Ridder has accumulated 744 passing yards and three touchdowns this season, with Jonnu Smith serving as his primary target, amassing 179 yards.

Bijan Robinson has been a standout for the Falcons, leading the team with 53 carries and 318 rushing yards. Although he has yet to score a rushing touchdown, he has found the end zone via a pass.

The Falcons have been averaging 128 rushing yards per game but have struggled in the passing department, ranking last in the league with just 156.3 passing yards per game. 

Given his significant role in moving the ball down the field, Robinson’s availability will be crucial for the Falcons’ offensive game plan.

 

Texans vs Falcons Betting Prediction | Houston Tops Atlanta in Week 5

The Houston Texans are playing the best football they have ever played. On the other side, the Falcons have struggled after their start to the season.

If the Falcons cannot get their passing game going, they will have a tough time winning games. The Texans’ defense is going to force Atlanta to pass the ball.

It is not likely they can break out in this game. We are taking the Houston Texans to win their third in a row. Bet the Houston Texans +2 over the Atlanta Falcons.
