The Houston Texans<\/a> have rebounded quite nicely from a tough start to the year, and at 8-5 and winners of five straight, they look like one of the more dangerous teams in the NFL thanks in large part to the No. 1 scoring defense in the league. Their Week 15 opponent, the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, are hoping to pull off a major upset and snap a five-game losing streak in the process when they head to Houston on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kickoff from NRG Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET. The Texans are 10.5-point favorites, per the latest Cardinals vs. Texans odds from DraftKings<\/a>, while the total, or over\/under for points scored, is 42.5.

Cardinals vs. Texans betting preview<\/p>\n

Odds: Texans -10.5, over\/under 42.5<\/p>\n

Both teams are right around .500 when it comes to the spread this year, with Arizona 6-7 and Houston 7-6. A big difference besides the overall records is that the Cardinals are 8-5 to the Over this season while the Texans are just 3-10. That’s in large part because the Texans have the NFL’s best defense in terms of yards and points allowed per game, while the Cardinals’ defense is among the worst in the league this season.<\/p>\n
