Let’s start things off with a number.
64.6%
That was the high point where the Houston Texans had the best odds of winning their game against the Chicago Bears today. And that was with 7:21 in the second quarter of the game after giving up a six yard run to Justin Fields to get them to the Bears’ 24-yard line. At no point in the remainder of the game were the Texans favored by that much to win.
It was not a dominant win or loss for the Texans, as the win probability hovered near the 50/50 mark pretty much throughout the game until Davis Mills threw the interception which set up the game-winning field goal for the Bears.
