Who is favored to win: Buccaneers or Texans?
It’s hard to bet against the Bucs high-powered offense right now. They knocked off a tough Atlanta team to open the year and proved they can win close games in the process. On the other hand, Houston wilted in a Week 1 loss to the Rams and has problems all over the offensive line. I’m not sure their vaunted defense will be enough to pick up the slack, especially if the offense can’t find a way to score points. While I think this could be close, I’m taking the Bucs to get a win on the road. Prediction: Buccaneers 27, Texans 20.
