Houston is the perfect example of a B-Type team punching above its weight. When they win, they do it with defense, controlled pace, and undervalued markets โ which is why their O/U record is heavily Under-leaning and their DMVI sits at +5.5, showing market overreaction on the totals but underreaction on SU/ATS potential.
They are one of the NFLโs quietest Bullish assets right now.
A positive DMVI indicates the market is overvaluing totals and undervaluing ATS reliability.
The Texans arenโt blowing teams out โ theyโre squeezing out methodical wins in games where the market expects more points than reality delivers.
A shorter Bullish cycle usually signals one thing:
The market still doesnโt fully trust them โ which is good for bettors.
Momentum is strong without showing signs of becoming overpriced.

Your data flex โ the kind bettors love:
This confirms the single biggest truth about Houston:
The market overshoots totals in their games by a mile.
Houston started 0โ3 SU with two low-scoring losses.
The offense wasnโt clicking yet.
The 26โ0 win vs Tennessee reset their season.
Then the shocking 44โ10 blowout at Baltimore turned heads and triggered their Bullish cycle.
Wins vs Jacksonville, Buffalo, Tennessee, and Indianapolis all show:
โ Defensive containment
โ Late-game execution
โ Undervalued point spreads
โ Totals consistently finishing below expectation
Houston is exactly the kind of team sharps love โ undervalued, misunderstood, defense-first, consistent in the โuglyโ games.
