The Detroit Lions head to Houston for a crucial Week 10 showdown with the Texans. Detroit (7-1) has been a dominant force in the NFC, sitting comfortably atop the NFC North, while the Texans (6-3) have shown they’re capable of hanging with the league’s best despite being led by quarterback C.J. Stroud.
This may be the biggest test the Lions have faced all season. They are up against the league’s best passing defense.
The Texans are dealing with a handful of key injuries. Second year edge Will Anderson Jr. is battling a nagging ankle injury, Stefon Diggs is out for the season with a torn ACL, and Nico Collins is set to be activated after a long absence from a hamstring injury.
This is a game of good on good, and both teams will be eager to show the world how good they really are.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
NBC Sports analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is eyeing Lions -3.5:
“Shop this line around, but I have to take the Lions in this game. They are 7-1 against the spread, they have a great balance on offense with a great offensive line, and they are strong defensively.
The Texans aren’t healthy. Even with Collins back, and that’s a maybe, they might be at a massive disadvantage offensively.”
