Commanders vs Texans Match Details
Fixture: Washington at Houston
Date and Time: Sunday, November 20 at 1:00 PM ET
Venue: NRG Stadium, Houston, TX
Commanders vs Texans Head-to-Head
Houston has won the last three meetings between the two teams, and this will be their sixth meeting overall. Houston won the most recent game against Washington in 2018, winning 23-21 in Week 11.
Commanders vs Texans Key Stats
After a 1-4 start, Washington has entirely recovered. Washington has returned to.500 after a spectacular 32-21 road victory over the Eagles last week when they were 11-point underdogs. After being sidelined for four games, Carson Wentz is officially qualified to return from the IR, but it appears Heinicke will start.
The key to Washington's victories has been their defense. Last week, they accomplished the difficult chore of limiting the powerful Eagles to just 265 total yards. The rush defense is very strong, coming in at number 12, while the pass defense is ranked 15th. Washington ranks 24th with an average scoring average of 19.1. They are surrendering 21.3 points on average, which is good for 15th in the league.
Houston is attempting to earn their first victory at home this year. In their home opener against the Colts, they played to a 20-20 tie, and their lone victory came in Jacksonville last month. Davis Mills had 319 passing yards in a loss last week.
Houston's defense has had a few standout games, but they still have trouble stopping the run. They gave up 367 total yards and 191 rushing yards to the Giants last week. The rush defense is ranked last, while the pass defense is ranked respectably at 16th. Houston ranks 28th with an average scoring average of 16.6 points.
Commanders vs Texans Best Picks and Prediction
Houston is playing poorly on offense and defense at home and has no wins. Washington's primary strength in the current run of victories has been the defense, but the offense is particularly struggling, scoring 20 or fewer points in four straight games.
Washington's outstanding rushing defense, which is ranked 12th in the NFL, will hinder Houston's running attack, which has recently been strong under the leadership of Dameon Pierce.
Pick: Washington -3 (-120)
