How it plays out

Seattle Seahawks vs Houston Texans is an inter-conference matchup: the NFC Seahawks hosting the AFC Texans. Houston Texans are favored at 59% (HOU -1), yet Seattle Seahawks's 41% says this is no walkover.

Tactically, Seattle Seahawks will want to lean on young playmakers to attack Houston Texans, whose offensive line is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Houston Texans's fierce pass rush could punish Seattle Seahawks if red-zone offense goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Mike Macdonald and DeMeco Ryans, to script around exactly that battle.

Keep an eye on Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR) and C.J. Stroud (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Seahawks at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
