Packers vs Texans Betting Preview
The Green Bay Packers lost badly to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a week ago. Aaron Rodgers looked pedestrian at best and the team had no fight. The first instinct is to bet on the Packers, assuming that Rodgers and company will rebound against the Texans. They are 10-0 against the spread (ATS) after a game in which they failed to cover. But before you run to the betting window, there are a few things that you need to consider.
Injury Bug Bites Green Bay
Injuries and the pandemic will put a player on the sideline on any given day. Sometimes injuries pop up in the middle of the week that are unexpected and that is exactly what happened with the Packers this week.
#Packers RB Aaron Jones suffered a very mild calf strain in practice Thursday, per source. Jones wants to play Sunday against the #Texans but sounds like it’ll be a game-time decision.

The Packers need Aaron Jones in the lineup, but can still thrive against a Texans run defense that is the worst in the National Football League. The Packers will be without left tackle David Bakhtiari which will cause some shuffling on the offensive line.
Hope for Houston
Although the Texans lost in overtime to the Tennessee Titans, there are reasons to be hopeful. Deshaun Watson leads the NFL in yards per attempt and completions of 20 yards. With the pressure of his team firmly on his shoulders, he has delivered. He has been terrific lately, completing almost 70 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating over 100.0 in the last month.
Packers vs Texans picks
The Packers defense is beatable and they do not generate turnovers. The Packers defense has five takeaways in five games this season. They also have injuries at inside linebacker and they are tied for fifth-most missed tackles in the league with 49. The Packers are not the only team that rebounds from a non-cover. The Texans are 11-5-1 ATS in the last 17 games following a loss against the spread. The Texans are the team to bet this Sunday.
