Whilst Football Outsiders may not be the biggest fans of the Texans' chances in 2017, Bovada has other ideas. They have the Texans in the top ten when it comes to odds to win the Super Bowl right now.
At +1800, the Texans have the eighth best odds in the NFL and the fourth best in the AFC, same as the Denver Broncos.
The New England Patriots return as obvious favourites at only +375, but the Texans are seen as one of the AFC's other leading lights, just behind the Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers.
