Dallas Cowboys vs Houston Texans Prediction
The Dallas Cowboys are a complete mess, as they’ve lost 4 straight games and have yet to win at home. With Rush at quarterback, the Cowboys’ offense is even less reliable and coming off a contest where they scored just 6 points. With that aid, the Texans are banged up on the offensive side of the ball and the defense remains hit or miss. The Texans also just lost a home game despite the defense coming away with five interceptions. The Texans have been a favorite of 7 or more points twice since December 2019 and both of those games were outright losses. I’d grab the points with the Cowboys at home if forced to pick.
