Houston Texans vs Green Bay Packers Prediction

Give me the Texans here. Love has been good no doubt, but so has CJ Stroud and he’s going to have another big game here. Joe Mixon being healthy is a big boost for the Texans and they are going to find success. The Texans are averaging 23.8 points and they are going to really put on show here. The Packers' offense will be fine, but they are going to struggle also. Back the Texans against the spread.
