TV: NBC
Latest Odds : KC -9.5 Total 54
Houston will have some issues on the year as they allowed DeAndre Hopkins to leave the team in the offseason. That loss will leave quarterback DeShaun Watson without his favorite target. Last year Watson threw for 3852 yards and 26 touchdowns, but was picked off 12 times. The other issue is the Texans have to replace Carlos Hyde as well. The projected starting running back for the Texas is David Johnson.
The Texans defense has a lot of question marks on the year. The defense ranked towards the bottom part of the league all year last season and were horrible against the rushing attack, but also the passing defense as well. Granted, the Texans did make some moves to show some improvement on the defensive side of the ball, but it probably was not enough as the Texans were that bad defensively.

The Texans do not have a big target at wide out and they are also lacking the pop on defense to make the big plays. The Texans also are going to rely on some added wide outs to keep any targets for Watson. The other issue for Houston is the lack of defense to counter the offensive power the Chiefs are bringing to the field this year. Final Score, Kansas City Chiefs win and cover 42-21.
