Jeremy Cluff writes: “The Texans had a week off to prepare for this game. Seattle is playing well, but is just 1-2 at home this season. C.J. Stroud and company will pull off the upset to conclude the NFL Week 7 schedule.”

Bill Speros writes: “The Seahawks scratched out a tough 20-12 win at Jacksonville Sunday, perhaps their most impressive of the season, considering the early East Coast start and weather. Sam Darnold is repeating his 2024 regular season performance, just in another uniform. The Texas limped into the bye. Not sure the break will help them here. The Texans’ lone road win came at Baltimore, and the Ravens were without Lamar Jackson. Road game. Prime time. Hostile conditions. Not the best recipe for the visitors.”

Sportsnaut: Seattle Seahawks 20, Houston Texans 14
Matt Johnson writes: “The Seattle Seahawks have one of the highest pressure rates (21 percent) and sack rates (8.1 percent) in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Houston Texans’ offensive line still ranks 29th in ESPN pass-block win rate (51 percent). On top of that, Seattle has allowed just 71 rush ypg since Week 2. Try as the Texans’ defense might on Monday Night Football, the pass rush just won’t be quite enough to overcome the edge Seattle’s defense will have versus the Texans’ offense.”
