Why Bet on Pittsburgh versus Houston
Pittsburgh’s offense isn’t great, but the defense is playing fantastic football. Although the stats suggest Pittsburgh’s defense isn’t playing well, the stats are skewed because Pittsburgh faced one of the league’s top teams, the San Francisco 49ers, in NFL Week 1.
Since then, the Pittsburgh Steelers have allowed 22 to the Browns and 18 to the Raiders. DE T.J. Watt has 6 sacks and 2 forced fumbles already this season. In addition, quarterback Kenny Pickett comes off his best performance of 2023.

Why Bet on Houston versus Pittsburgh
Sometimes, all it takes is a single game for a team to go from zero to hero. Dominating the rival Jacksonville Jaguars might be the Houston Texans‘ zero to hero game.
Stroud was fantastic when throwing for 280 yards and a couple of touchdowns. The Texans defense picked off Trevor Lawrence and held the Jags to 17 points.
Houston faces a more disciplined team on Sunday. But the Texans get the Steelers at home. So Stroud and his mates have an advantage.
Houston Texans Offensive Averages
- Total Yards: 341.0
- Passing Yards: 271.0
- Rushing Yards: 70.0
- Points Scored: 22.0
- Turnovers: 2
Houston Texans Defensive Averages
- Total Yards: 340.7

Houston Texans vs Pittsburgh Steelers Final Betting Prediction
The Texans played great to score their first win of the season. But although Houston got a key division win over the rival Jaguars, beating a Mike Tomlin coached squad in the Pittsburgh Steelers is asking a lot.
Pittsburgh’s defense shut down the Raiders in Las Vegas last Sunday. T.J. Watt is playing like this season’s defensive player of the year. T.J. is averaging 2 sacks a game.
Stroud is going to have a much more difficult time evading Watt than he did the Jaguars’ defenders. Also, Kenny Pickett threw for 225 yards and a couple of touchdowns, a sign that he’s starting to hit his stride. Pittsburgh wins and covers.
