Houston Texans Super Bowl Odds 2024

The current Super Bowl Odds for the Houston Texans are . Expectations were already as low as possible for Houston heading into last season and they still somehow managed to disappoint by not getting the first pick of the draft.

Lucky for them this draft has been shaped into a two-horse quarterback race, still being able to get a potential franchise quarterback with their second overall pick.

It especially helps that the Texans have two first round picks as they can use their 12th overall pick to either fill another pressing need or turn it into more draft capital. The Texans have shown that they want to right the ship early as they have been active in free agency with some impactful additions to their offense. Still nowhere near a Super Bowl contender, but potentially a profitable target as a dog in most contests.

Houston Texans Super Bowl Odds Analysis

As mentioned above, this team has too many holes that prevents them from being any sort of contender. Even with the addition of either CJ Stroud or Bryce Young, their production will be tempered by the lack of playmakers on offense. Their offensive line is also abysmal, a unit that is in serious need of depth.

It does need to be mentioned that the Texans have taken a step in the right direction in improving their offense by being active in free agency. They traded disgruntled Brandin Cooks for some late draft capital as well as signed pass catches Robert Woods and Dalton Schultz. While neither are pegged as game changers, both at least represent a bump in production at a very weak receiving position.

As for who will be throwing it to them? The Texans went with CJ Stroud after the Carolina Panthers selected Bryce Young with the first overall pick. Stroud was once thought of as the number one option until his draft stock started to plummet after a poor draft process. It got so bad that Will Levis was potentially rumored to go number two, yet the Texans stuck to their guns and selected the better product on tape.

Stroud will have his work cut out for him as their offensive line play is shaky and the Texans still lack a true superstar at wideout. Young running back Dameon Pierce will help take the attention away from opposing linebackers as he carves out a role as a legitimate bell cow back, easing the pressure off of Stroud in the pocket. Stroud’s tape shows he is one of the best pure passers in the draft class, releasing the ball with an elite precision and zip. The issue is that his S2 score shows he struggles to make the next read which may spell disaster in a collapsing pocket.

The Texans draft impact didn’t stop there, they made the first big splash on day one and traded their 12th overall first round pick for the Cardinals third overall pick. This resulted in them taking Will Anderson Jr, giving them an instant starter on defense to help shore up their pass rush. Anderson was regarded as the best defensive talent going into the draft, bringing in a blend of rush and pass coverage as a versatile outside linebacker.
