Seattle Seahawks vs. Houston Texans Odds & Game Pick (2021)
This is a matchup of two teams with bad records, but talent-wise are completely opposite. One team lost their franchise quarterback for a period of time this season and was not able to win without him, but on the other side is a team that has not been able to put a good product on the field all season.

This is not how the Seahawks thought their season would be going, but they still have a shot at the playoffs, even sitting as the 15th seed in the NFC. As they prepare to go on the road, the off-field distractions are looming as reports came out that quarterback Russell Wilson listed a group of teams he would be willing to waive his no-trade clause for. This story is all too familiar as rumors surfaced during the offseason that Wilson presented this same agenda to the team. The days of Wilson in Seattle could be dwindling. On a positive note, it looks like Alex Collins will be back in the lineup after missing last week with an injury.
For the Texans, any off-the-field distraction would be better than what they put on the field. The offense and defense have not played well all season as they are last in every statistical category.
Trends
- The under is 16-4-1 in the Seahawks’ last 21 games.
- The Seahawks have won 14 of its last 23 games on the road.
- The UNDER is 12-5 in the Texans’ last 17 games as an underdog.
- The Texans 3-7 against the spread in its last 10 games.
Overview
Wilson has looked great over the last couple of weeks with back-to-back two-touchdown performances. Just because he came back a couple of weeks earlier doesn’t mean the finger was 100%, but now it looks close to that point. Houston can stop anybody, and even with that win over Tennessee, they allowed over 420 total yards. Seattle should be able to get a more than a touchdown win this week.
Pick: Seahawks -7.5
