🔥 Bills vs. Texans Predictions for NFL Week 1, Sunday, 9/13

Although we didn’t see these AFC squads meet in the postseason last year, this is still a rematch. They met in Week 12 - also in Houston - which ended up being a 23-19 victory for the home team, and that’s not all. Houston also cashed in Bills vs. Texans predictions the year prior with a 23-20 win over Josh Allen and company.

It’s going to be a battle of great on great, as Allen is a perennial MVP candidate, while Houston hosted arguably the best defense in football last season. They were objectively the best in many regards, and with Allen labeled as Superman more often than not, the Bills vs. Texans odds suggesting nearly a pick ‘em shouldn’t come as a huge surprise.

The big addition that Buffalo is hoping takes them over the edge is WR DJ Moore, while Houston is hoping that RB David Montgomery is their missing piece while needing Nico Collins to stay healthy. There is plenty to love about both sides, but ultimately, we need to lock in a best best from our Bills vs. Texans predictions for Week 1!

🏅 Bills vs. Texans Expert Pick: James Cook Over 70.5 Rushing Yards (-119 at Courtside)

To be even more specific when it comes to great vs. great, Buffalo had arguably the best offensive line in football last year, which will be taking on the elite defensive line of Houston. Well, it’s certainly elite when it comes to getting to the QB courtesy of Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, but can they prevent our Bills vs. Texans predictions?

We clearly don’t think so, and when we look at defensive line win rates, we get some support. While Houston ranked sixth in pass rush win rate, they ranked 22nd in run stop win rate. That’s bad news when facing a Buffalo offensive line that ranked #1 in run block win rate. So, it’s no shock that James Cook cashed some Bills vs. Texans picks.

Not only did he have a strong season overall, but against Houston, he absolutely rolled through them with 116 yards and a touchdown. That was on 17 carries for 6.8 yards per rush, and it was also while Houston held Josh Allen to just 20 rushing yards on five carries. For what it’s worth, he also hit this with 82 yards and a TD in the meeting prior vs. Houston.

For something on the other side of this matchup, we also like David Montgomery to score a TD, but as for the overall best bet from our Bills vs. Texans predictions for Week 1, we’re rolling with James Cook over 70.5 rushing yards (-119 at Courtside).

As for Bills vs. Texans news and injuries in Houston, we’ll see if Tank Dell can ever truly make a name for himself once he makes it off IR, and more immediate concerns are the questionable tags with Jaylin Noel, Jadeveon Clowney, and Jake Hansen.
