Is there a more anonymous roster in the NFL'than the Houston Texans?'With Deshaun Watson on the sidelines all year (and now in Cleveland), the Texans finished 4-13 in 2021 and with a point differential of minus-172. Many around the NFL thought first-year coach David Culley did a fine job even coaxing four wins out of that team, but he was fired this offseason and replaced with defensive coordinator Lovie Smith. What should we expect from the 2022 Texans? According to bettors at Caesars Sportsbook, not much.
Houston opened at +20000 to win Super Bowl 57, which was tied for the worst odds with the Lions and Jets. The Texans have since risen +25000, where they sit with the Falcons for the longest odds. The Texans have received the least amount of money to win the Super Bowl at 0.4 percent as well as the fifth-fewest tickets at 1.1 percent – only ahead of the Falcons, Panthers, Jaguars and Commanders. Houston is one of two teams to not receive a single bet of at least $1,000 to win the Super Bowl, along with the Bears.
To win the AFC South, Houston is +4500 – the longest division odds in the NFL (even Jacksonville is only +750). The Texans have received just four percent of all money wagered to win the AFC South, second-lowest amount among all teams for their respective division futures (Atlanta has received three percent in the NFC South).
With Davis Mills set as the starting quarterback after a pretty solid rookie se ason, Houston has the lowest Over/Under win total in the league at 4.5. The Over has gotten 54 percent of the tickets, but the Under has taken about 79 percent of the money. That's eighth-most lopsided Under bet by dollars in the league.
