Betting on NFL Houston Texans
The Houston Texans shocked a lot of NFL insiders thus improving their betting on NFL odds. This was when they decided to trade All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals. Trade for David Johnson, a second round pick in this year’s draft and a fourth round pick in the 2021 draft.
After shipping Hopkins off to Arizona, the Houston Texans signed veteran receiver Randall Cobb to replace him. Was this a good move?
“I think obviously with DeAndre [Hopkins] leaving, it’s going to be a lot of eyes on all three of us [wide receivers Will Fuller, Kenny Stills and Cobb] to step up and make some plays,” Cobb said in a teleconference with Houston media. “In particular me, because a lot of people are looking at me coming in and being a replacement, even though me and DeAndre are two totally different types of receivers.”
Cobb, who played for the Dallas Cowboys last season, had 55 catches for 828 yards. Also, and three touchdowns in 15 games. He will give the Texans a reliable slot receiver. Which is a position the Texans have struggled to fill since head coach Bill O’Brien was hired in 2014.

Cobb said he signed with the Houston Texans. For the reason that he will have the opportunity to do things similar to what he did when he played for Green Bay. Where he spent his first eight seasons, and the opportunity to play with Deshaun Watson.
“The reason I picked the Texans is obviously you look at what they’ve been able to do over the past few years.” Cobb said. “Went to the playoffs four of the past five times. At this point in my career, I still don’t have a ring. So I want to be in a situation where I have that possibility. And I think when you look at Deshaun [Watson] and what he’s been able to do since he’s been in the league.
“I’ve been really impressed from afar. Watching him. He has tremendous ability, and he’s a winner. He’s won at every level. … I think he has that ability to take us to a Super Bowl. Also, I want to be a part of something special with him.”
