Houston Texans Form
Houston head to Cleveland on the back of their third win in four games, which has improved them to 3-5.
The Texans came into the season with playoff expectations, but dug themselves into an early hole as they opened with four consecutive defeats.
They lost 36-31 to Buffalo and 20-6 to Cincinnati at home, and then followed up a 19-17 loss in Indianapolis with another defeat at NRG Stadium, this time losing 34-30 to Dallas.
Houston finally got off the mark in Tennessee as they beat the Titans 26-3, and they backed that up in London as they snatched a 34-31 win over Jacksonville.
The Texans failed to make it three-in-a-row, losing 27-21 to the New York Giants in overtime, but issued an immediate response last weekend as they downed the Los Angeles Chargers, 44-22.
Cleveland Browns Form
Cleveland come into this game having suffered consecutive defeats to slip to 5-4 on the season.
The Browns opened with a 34-10 defeat in Jacksonville, but responded strongly as they followed up a 23-19 win at Tampa Bay with home wins over Carolina, 21-18, and Pittsburgh, 27-24.
Their win streak was ended by a 17-12 loss at the New York Jets, only for them to again respond well to a setback.
Cleveland rebounded with a 13-10 victory over Baltimore, before heading to Tennessee to beat the Titans 27-24.
However, the Browns have not won since, following up a 27-6 blowout loss in Pittsburgh with a 23-22 overtime defeat at New Orleans.
Verdict
Houston have rebounded from a cold start to kick-start their campaign, while Cleveland’s early promise appears to be evaporating after back-to-back defeats.
We are leaning towards an improving Texans team that has won three straight on the road, covering in each one of those victories.
