    Perhaps one of the less noteworthy NFL betting matchups in Week 5 is this contest between AFC teams with just one win apiece through four weeks. But hey, it is a battle of rookie starting quarterbacks! With that anecdote in mind, it’s honestly somewhat shocking that the media isn’t salivating over this game. At any rate, for the New England Patriots, Sunday’s road tilt against the Houston Texans is widely expected to serve as a get-right spot. For the Texans, it will likely be another miserable afternoon. The NFL betting odds sure think so, as they have labeled the visitors as hefty favorites in advance of this Patriots vs Texans showdown.

    The following Patriots vs Texans NFL betting preview will give you the current odds, betting trends and picks for the Week 5 matchup, along with a stream link to watch games all season long.

    New England Patriots Preview

    In all honesty, the Patriots could very easily have a record of 3-1 instead of the current 1-3 that the standings show. New England fumbled away a potential Week 1 win against the Miami Dolphins. Most recently, the Patriots outplayed the reigning Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, only to miss a potential game-winning field goal late. If nothing else, the future of the franchise appears to be in good hands. Rookie quarterback Mac Jones has looked the part through four games. Week 4 saw Damien Harris and the Pats’ run game completely shut down by the Buccaneers. Jones rose to the occasion, completing 31 of 40 pass attempts for 275 yards and a pair of touchdowns. 

    Given that the Patriots couldn’t generate any sort of run game last week, that led to a number of pass-catchers having a productive game. While the offense lacks any big-name receivers, Bill Belichick has assembled a solid group. Each of Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor had over 50 yards receiving. Running back Brandon Bolden also eclipsed the half-century mark as he takes over the “James White role” out of the backfield. The Patriots’ defense has been solid to begin the year, especially against the pass. Football Outsiders grades them second in adjusted efficiency defending the pass, but only 29th against the run.

    Houston Texans Preview

    The Texans were massive 17-point NFL betting underdogs for their Week 4 game against the Buffalo Bills. Not only did Houston fail to cover that gigantic spread, but they didn’t even come close. The Texans barely surpassed 100 yards of total offense last week and were shut out 40-0. Rookie QB Davis Mills was no match for a talented Buffalo defense. He threw four interceptions and finished with only 87 yards passing. 47 of those went to Brandin Cooks on five receptions. If the team’s goal is indeed to tank this season away, the sudden switch from Tyrod Taylor to Mills at quarterback is certainly helping their cause.

    It doesn’t figure to get any easier for Houston offensively this week against Bill and the viral Steve Belichick’s defense in Sunday’s NFL betting matchup. (Hey, I had to try and generate some excitement in the Texans portion of the article somehow!) While the final score last week was quite ugly, it should be noted that the Texans’ defense actually held its own for a while. They forced the Bills to settle for some field goals early on. Ultimately, the five offensive turnovers were simply too much for the D to overcome.

    Henry’s passion for sports dates all the way back to childhood and has ultimately led to a full-fledged career as an analyst and content creator. After getting his start penning fantasy football articles, he forrayed into the betting side of the business in early 2019. His love for sports and statistics proved to be an ideal match with the dedicated research and strategy that handicapping requires. Henry currently specializes in betting analysis and picks for college football, college basketball and NASCAR. He counts the NFL, the WNBA, and NBA player props as additional leagues/markets of interest. Henry graduated from SUNY Buffalo in 2021 with a Communication Studies degree and a Psychology minor. A native of the Finger Lakes region in Upstate New York, he and his pup, Harold, have since relocated to Laramie, Wyoming. Thanks to his professional goals within the sports betting industry, there has been a whole lot of steam on the odds for a move to Las Vegas in 2023! Most of Henry’s free time is spent on outdoor adventures, playing chess, snowboarding, or reading a good book. He is also a competitive powerlifter and aspires to qualify for the USAPL Nationals meet within the next 2-3 years.
