Houston Texans VS Cleveland Browns Moneyline

Backing a home win on the moneyline is a red flag here. The Houston Texans are on a six-match losing streak, and we don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel for them either. Take the Cleveland Browns (-312) instead for the win. The visitors are also on a two-match winning streak in this series, and we’re backing them to continue this trend on Sunday.

Houston Texans VS Cleveland Browns Spread

NFL Power Rankings Week 13 2022, Houston Texans VS Cleveland Browns

Houston Texans Form

The Houston Texans are having a tough time at the moment. They lost 30-15 to the Miami Dolphins last week and now enter their latest game at the NRG Stadium on the back of a four-match home losing streak. Their overall record for the last 10 games is 1-9.

Scoring clearly isn’t where the Houston Texans’ A-game lies. The offense has only put 15.8 points on board, which is one of the league’s worst points averages. The art of defending isn’t something the Houston Texans excel in either. By allowing 23.6 points per game, their defense has been below average compared to the rest of the league this year.

Unsurprisingly, the Houston Texans are unlikely to make the NFL postseason as things stand. Few people expected the home side to go far, and given their 1-9-1 regular season record, it seems they had good reason.

Cleveland Browns Form

The Cleveland Browns snapped out of a two-match losing streak last time out by beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-17, leaving their current record from the past ten games at 3-7. They are also 1-4 in the last five on the road.

The Cleveland Browns continue to put up decent numbers in offense, scoring 23.0 points in their last five matches. Considering their season average is 23.9 points, this suggests the offensive unit remains as reliable as ever. On the other side of the ball, the defense has been relatively average in the league recently. The visitors have given up 24.6 points in the previous five outings, which is more or less on par with the 26.0 points they’ve allowed per game over the course of the regular season.

Reaching the Super Bowl is the ultimate dream for the Cleveland Browns. It’s a big ask though. Not only did the visitors exit in the first round of last season’s playoffs, but they’re only 4-7 this year, and unless things pick up soon, even a postseason berth will be out of their reach.

Houston Texans VS Cleveland Browns H2H history

The previous matchup between these two franchises ended in a 31-21 win for the Cleveland Browns at the FirstEnergy Stadium in September 2021. The total has gone under 45.0 points in nine of the last 11 meetings between the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns.

While the Houston Texans averaged 20.27 points, the Cleveland Browns performed an average of 15.18 points in their 11 most recent head-to-head games.
