Check out all of our NFL analysis and expert analysis for every playoff game.
Our Dustin Saracini was already backing the Under and the Texans to cover as a short road underdog with his Texans vs. Patriots prediction, and the weather forecast further supports both of those picks. The cold and snow should call for a tight defensive game, especially with two young quarterbacks at the helm of the offenses.
We don't know how much snow will accumulate, but the weather calls for "definite snow" from kickoff through the fourth quarter. Temperatures will range from 26 to 36 degrees. The wind will be a minor reprieve, with gusts up to just 10 mph.
Texans vs. Patriots weather impact
- The Under seems to be the popular bet on today's game, and our Gary Pearson has trends beyond the weather that support that selection with his live betting guide, citing poor red-zone efficiency for both teams
- The Houston defense scored twice in last week's win over the Steelers, and our Phil Wood backs the best unit in this game to score again with his Texans vs. Patriots anytime touchdown scorer predictions; bad weather could lead to more Patriots mistakes
- Liam Fox's Texans vs. Patriots player props call for mistakes from Texans QB C.J. Stroud as well, and we could see a heavy dose of the run game for both sides
