Ready for Davis Mills against Sam Ehlinger?

Both teams are basically starting backup quarterbacks, and it’s worth reminding you that Jonathan Taylor and Dameon Pierce are out for the season. These are two "Under" teams – they’re a combined 20-12 to the "Under" – and it’s tough envisioning lots of fireworks given the lack of offensive talent.

There’s also a very good chance Houston plays possum on Sunday. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that after watching college quarterbacks Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud light it up on New Year’s Eve, the Texans got obliterated 31-3 by Jacksonville on New Year’s Day. It’s almost like management reminded everybody what’s at stake in the final games.

The Texans are so close to the No. 1 overall pick they can taste it.

Don’t overthink it.

PICK: Under 38.5 points scored by both teams combined at FOX Bet
