Week 7 NFL picks for Texans vs. Packers

Before tuning into Sunday's Packers vs. Texans game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 11-3 hot streak on top-rated NFL picks this year. Longer term, it is on a 192-132 roll on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season and a 46-24 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of 2022.

For Packers vs. Texans, the model is backing Green Bay to cover the spread. Sunday's matchup could potentially be a very close game, but the Packers have a slight edge with home-field advantage. They also have a top-10 rush defense that has only allowed 110 average yards on the ground this season, which will challenge Joe Mixon as he tries to get the ball downfield for Houston.

The Texans' pass defense has been effective all season, but they will have their hands full on Sunday. Love has two or more touchdown passes in each of his starts this season and has a plethora of weapons downfield including Jayden Reed, who has 27 catches for 442 yards and three touchdowns. Houston is also dealing with some injuries on defense, which gives Green Bay's offense another advantage. You may be able to stream the game here.
