Texans vs. Cowboys open thread

This game feels like a dud. The Dallas Cowboys, without Dak Prescott, are a 7.5-point underdog (Bet at FanDuel Sportsbook) at home against the Houston Texans. I will be cheering for the Cowboys because #NeverTexans, but I probably won’t spend much time watching this one. I can’t see how it will be entertaining at all. Give me the Texans to win this one by two touchdowns.

I don’t have a good feel on the total of 41.5. It feels like and under, but the Texans could do enough on defense to score 30 or more points.

Here’s an interesting question, should we be cheering for the race between the Texans and Indianapolis Colts to stay tight so the Texans have something to play for when they play the Tennessee Titans in week 18? With so many teams hovering around 2-3 wins, that could end up really mattering in the 2025 NFL Draft order. That gives us all the more reason to cheer for the Cowboys tonight.
