I like the Texans plus a touchdown in this matchup. If the Texans cover, which I expect, then the game figures to be low-scoring because Houston is all about defense.

The Texans are conservative on offense relying on a strong defensive unit that ranks No. 1 in pass defense and hasn't given up a touchdown pass in their last three games. The Vikings' offense doesn't have Adrian Peterson, won't likely have their best receiver, Stefon Diggs, and has a banged-up line.

The Vikings have a dominant defense, though, and Houston is weak at quarterback.
