NFL Week 16, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

15. Texans come up short against Buccaneers

Keeping the discussion going with the Houston Texans, Bill O’Brien’s squad has plenty of reasons to feel confident about finishing on top of the AFC South following their recent win over the Tennessee Titans, although they still have plenty of work to do.

For starters, the Texans only have a one-game lead at the moment over their rivals, and if Houston happens to come up short against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16, it will make the AFC South race even more interesting.

Despite some of their other impressive wins at times over certain teams such as the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots, Houston has still proven to be a beatable team on numerous occasions as well.

Just take a look at a few weeks ago when the Texans suffered a shocking loss at home to the Denver Broncos, and this alone is a perfect example of why no one should be ruling out the Buccaneers possibly defeating Houston to pull off another surprise upset.

Even if Deshaun Watson puts together one of those stellar games the Texans are used to seeing, the Texans will still need to figure out a way to stopping the red-hot Jameis Winston on defense.
