Heading into what could be the matchup of Week 7, the Houston Texans (5-1) currently have a -2.8 Football Power Index (FPI) rating from ESPN.com, which currently ranks ninth in the NFL.
That number could expand if Houston secures a victory over the Green Bay Packers (4-2) on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field. Currently, Green Bay ranks 6th on the FPI rating with a -4.6.
According to ESPN's ranking system, FPI represents “a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team’s performance going forward for the rest of the season.
