At a -3.5-point disadvantage, the Texans are underdogs in this week's game, implying more of a reliance on throwing than their normal game plan.The predictive model expects the Houston Texans to be the 6th-least run-focused offense on the slate this week with a 40.9% run rate, given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.Opposing squads have run for the 5th-fewest adjusted yards in football (just 100.0 per game) versus the Lions defense this year.As it relates to the defensive tackles' role in run defense, Detroit's unit has been tremendous this year, projecting as the 10th-best in the league.
