Houston Texans vs. Carolina Panthers Analysis
CJ Stroud has been a pleasant surprise for the Houston Texans so far. The former Ohio State quarterback has played in all six games so far in his rookie season. His NFL Player Stats have him over 1,600 passing yards and nine touchdown passes to just one interception. His receiving core is made of guys like Nico Collins, Tank Dwell, Robert Woods, and Dalton Schultz.
Dell leads the attack with six receptions, 547 yards, and three touchdowns. Dell is next with two touchdowns. Dameon Pierce has gotten off to a slow start at the running back position. He has just one rushing touchdown, but it’s also the lone touchdown on the ground all season for the Texans.
The Houston Texans are at Carolina here and then will head home and host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next. Following that, Houston is back on the road at the Cincinnati Bengals. Houston Texans games have been fun this season, knowing Stroud is the guy under center.
Carolina Panthers’ Quest for a First Win
On the other side, there is a little concern over Bryce Young. The former Alabama quarterback has not been stellar to start his career. Young has been sacked 16 times in five games and has thrown four interceptions.
Young also missed a game that brought Andy Dalton in under center. Young’s best game was three touchdown passes against Miami, but he also threw two interceptions. Looking at the NFL team stats, the run game has not helped him.
Miles Sanders has come over and been ineffective on the ground. The former Eagles running back has just one touchdown and has two lost fumbles. Sanders did not play in their last game, which allowed Chuba Hubbard to take over the backfield. Hubbard has 242 yards so far this season.
Carolina will hunt for the first win of the season in this one or the home game against Indianapolis next week. After that, the Panthers have a Thursday Night Football game in Chicago against the Bears on November 9th. The Carolina Panthers record is going to be pretty irrelevant this season, no matter how bad they are, unless they go winless.
Texans vs. Panthers Betting Picks
The Carolina Panthers are going to win a game somewhere along the way. They are likely going to win a game they have no business winning. We do not expect that win to come in this one. Houston is off to a pretty good start, and will remain focused for this one.
Look for Stroud to outduel Young, and Houston wins this game by a touchdown. Betting the Houston Texans -3 on the road is the way to go here. That’s our Texans vs Panthers betting picks!
Houston Texans vs. Carolina Panthers Prediction
The final score prediction gives us a chance to talk about Stroud one more time. His numbers are good in this one. We give a prediction for 284 yards, three touchdowns, and no turnovers from Stroud.
Barring any late changes to the NFL injury report, the Houston Texans win this game 27-20 over the Carolina Panthers. Hope you enjoy all our NFL Picks!
