The Bucs have a high-powered offense. The Texans, with C.J. Stroud, were throttled by the Rams in their opener. Nick Chubb led the Houston rushing attack with 60 yards. With Joe Mixon out, the running game is worrisome.
Look for Baker Mayfield to have a good game against a Houston secondary that had no answer for Puka Nacua against the Rams. That means Mike Evans should be a nice prop play and look for the Bucs to win outright in a game that NFL betting has them as three-point underdogs.
- Pick: Bucs moneyline (+129)
