Houston Texans Odds

Houston Texans Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

After a surprise playoff appearance in 2023-24, an awesome season from rookie QB CJ Stroud and the offseason addition of WR Stefon Diggs, there is a lot of hype in H-Town surrounding the Texans. 

They started last season 0-2 under new head coach DeMeco Ryans, but they won three straight games in November and two straight to close out the season with an AFC South title.

Houston won a game in the playoffs -- beating the Browns 45-14 -- but they were smoked by the Ravens in the AFC Divisional Round.

Ultimately, the goal for Houston this year is to breakthrough in the AFC and truly contend with the Chiefs, Bills, Ravens and others atop the conference. That means another step up is required for Stroud, Will Anderson Jr. and the defense and the young receivers.

Here's how to bet the Texans in 2024-25.

Betting on the Houston Texans

As of the current state of affairs, sports betting remains unauthorized in Texas, with limited advancement toward its potential legalization in the year 2025.

Texans Point Spreads

Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. The Texans were 10-9 against the spread (52.6%) in 2023-24, ranking just 17th in the NFL in that category. Here's an example of how the spread works based on Houston's Week 1 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts:  

Here’s an example:

• Colts +2.5 (-115)
• Texans -2.5 (-105)

In this situation, the Colts are 2.5 point underdogs against the Texans. If Houston wins the game by three or more points, a $105 wager on the Texans would come with a payout of $100. If Indianapolis won the game outright or lost by two points or less, a $115 wager would net $100.

Houston Texans Over/Unders

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Let's say the Colts play the Texans and the over/under is set at 48.5 points. A wager on the over would require Indianapolis and Houston to score 49 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 48 or fewer points.

In 2023, the Texans were 7-11-1 to the over/under in 2023.

Texans Moneylines

After going 3-13-1 in the previous season, Houston turned its record around to 10-7 in 2023, making it a stronger play on the moneyline. Here's an example of the Texans on the moneyline based on their Week 1 game agains the Colts.

• Texans -134
• Colts +114

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Houston the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Texans odds would mean every $134 bet nets $100. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the Colts moneyline was set at +114, meaning a $100 wager would profit $114.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet the Texans moneyline and a -2.5 point spread, Houston would need to win by three points or more for that bet to be successful. The risk is greater, but so is the reward with increased odds. Use our Odds Calculator to calculate any bet amount or conversion.

Houston Texans Props

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• C.J. Stroud 2024 passing yards: 4175.25

If you take the over on this season-long prop, that would mean you believe Stroud is going to throw for 4,176 yards or more in 2023-24.
