The upcoming NFL showdown on December 14, 2025, between the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX, promises an exciting Sunday football matchup. The game will be broadcast on FOX, making it accessible for fans and bettors alike. The Cardinals will start quarterback Kedon Slovis, while the Texans will have C.J. Stroud under center, both looking to leverage their passing and rushing strengths to outscore the opponent.
Analyzing the betting trends, the Texans are favored with a point spread of -10 and a total points line of 42.5, indicating expectations of a moderately high-scoring game. The Cardinals have struggled recently with a 3-10 straight-up record and 6-7 against the spread, but they have a strong away ATS record of 5-1. The Texans hold an 8-5 straight-up record and 7-6 ATS overall, with a solid 4-2 home ATS record, suggesting home advantage plays a role.
Pass offense and defense will be crucial; the Cardinals average 238.7 passing yards per game, facing a Texans defense allowing 172 passing yards. Conversely, the Texans average 216.5 passing yards against a Cardinals defense yielding 224.3 yards through the air. Run game comparisons show the Cardinals with about 96.8 rushing yards per game against a Texans run defense allowing 94.3 yards, a fairly even matchup. The Texans’ run offense is slightly stronger at 105.7 yards, facing a Cardinals run defense conceding 123.1 yards.
Pass protection versus pass rush is another key factor. The Texans have a slightly better sack rate (2.77 per game) compared to the Cardinals' 1.85, which could pressure the Cardinals' QB Slovis. Injuries to key players like Arizona’s cornerback Max Melton (out) and questionable status for defensive lineman L.J. Collier may affect defensive stability, while Houston's wide receiver Justin Watson is questionable.
Considering these betting insights and stats, the Texans’ home advantage and stronger recent form make them the best bet to cover the spread.
