Bills vs Texans Prediction & Picks: NFL Week 1

Buffalo travels to Houston as a road favorite to open the season, and the number is tiny: Bills -1 with the total sitting at 44.5. Kickoff is Sunday in the early window. Sean Green and Ryan Kramer worked through it on NFL Picks Week 1 (Ep. 2680), and this one came down to a gambling-instinct read on the home dog.

Bills vs Texans Odds

The Bills are laying 1 point on the road in Houston, with the game total set at 44.5. The guys had figured Houston would stop being a home dog by kickoff, so seeing the point come back was part of the appeal. They even floated teasing the Texans up through the key numbers, as far as +7.5.

Our Picks

Both hosts are on the same side here. Ryan Kramer took the Texans +1, and Sean Green is also on the Texans +1, a unanimous call on the home dog. Their case leaned on Josh Allen’s history of struggling in Houston, respect for D’Amico Ryans as a seasoned head coach, and a motivated CJ Stroud looking to bounce back, all reasons they were happy to grab a point with the Texans at home.
