Texans vs Seahawks Pick

Seattle CB Devon Witherspoon (knee) did not suit up for Sunday’s victory and his status for this game is uncertain. The Texans are coming off a bye and their defense gives them a great shot in any environment. Houston will rattle Sam Darnold enough to pull off the upset on the road. Final Score Prediction, Houston Texans win 23-20.
