Houston Texans vs L.A. Chargers Betting Trends

Updated:Dec 27, 2025 1:27 AM EST

The upcoming NFL Week 17 game on December 27, 2025, between the Houston Texans and L.A. Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, is set to be a thrilling Saturday football showdown. The Houston Texans, led by starting quarterback C.J. Stroud, will face off against the L.A. Chargers, who will rely on their star QB Justin Herbert, who is practicing fully and expected to play. The Texans have a solid pass offense averaging 217.2 yards per game but will be challenged by the Chargers' pass defense allowing just 179.3 yards. The Chargers' offense boasts 220.2 passing yards per game, slightly edging the Texans, but Houston's defense ranks well in forcing turnovers and limiting scoring opportunities.

The Chargers are favored by 1.5 points with a total points line of 39.5, indicating a moderately close game with potential for strategic betting. Houston has a 10-5 straight-up record, while the Chargers are 11-4, showcasing competitive teams. The Chargers have been strong at home with a 6-2 ATS record, while Houston is 3-4 ATS on the road. Key players like Keenan Allen for the Chargers and Christian Kirk for the Texans could be decisive. Injuries are minimal, with some questionable statuses but no major absences expected.

This game will be broadcast on NFL Network, providing fans and bettors with live action and comprehensive coverage. The last matchup on January 11, 2025, saw the Texans win 32-12 at Houston, adding intrigue to this rematch. Bettors should consider the pass protection versus pass rush dynamics, as the Chargers have a slight edge in pass protection, which could influence the quarterback's effectiveness.
