Fans who bet on football know that the Texans only need one victory to win its second division title in a row. Also, the team hasn’t ruled out the return of J.J. Watt this season. QB Deshaun Watson is in the running for the MVP award, and RB Carlos Hyde is playing the best season of his career.
Hyde played a significant supporting role to take off some pressure from Watson. He can move the chains and milk the clock to help the team win games. Football betting analysts expect him to do well against the Buccaneers.
On the other hand, Tampa Bays wants to play the spoiler role during the last couple of weeks of the season. For instance, they defeated the Colts that ended their playoff contention. They can stop the Texans’ playoff hopes this Saturday.
