The San Francisco 49ers travel to Texas to play against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium on August 25th at 8:15 pm. This will be the final game both of these teams play this preseason. Last week, the Texans played the Los Angeles Rams and they won by a final score of 24-20. The San Francisco 49ers won their game last week against the Minnesota Vikings by a final score of 17-7. Heading into this season, the 49ers are expected to return back to the players. Although the Texans do not have the same expectations, they still want to finish better than they did last season and possibly make a push for the Wild Card. Due to these expectations, coaches from both teams might play this game cautiously and have their regular season starters play a limited amount of snaps. As it is the last game of the preseason, the coaches need to submit their final 52-man roster so expect to see players playing their hardest trying to make the cut. Caesars Casino & Sportsbook has the match result odds at -190 San Francisco and +160 Houston. Additionally, the over/under total points for the game is set at 42.0 with the over and under both being -110. New users will receive a Risk-Free Bet of up to $1500 on their first wager.

The Houston Texans have won both of their games this preseason. Although it is the preseason, the momentum and confidence the team can get heading into the season, if they win this game, will be great for them. An undefeated preseason is not common and only 7 teams have that opportunity this year. In this game against the 49ers, head coach Lovie Smith said that the starters will play a lot more in this game compared to the first two preseason games. It seems that coach smith has a different approach to the final game of the preseason, as a majority of teams would bench their starters to prevent any injury. The Texans have scored 41 points in this preseason and last game against the Rams, and all three of their quarterbacks threw for a touchdown. Their defense has also played an important role for them this preseason as in both games the Texans have forced at least one turnover.

The San Francisco 49ers have also won both of their games this preseason. This team lost in the NFC Championship last season and a finish any lower this season would be considered disappointing for them. They have scored 45 points in the preseason and should be able to score more in this game against the Texans. They have received a lot of help from their defense as they have forced the opposing team to commit three turnovers in each of their games. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has come out and said that he won’t play his starters for more than a half and will let quarterback Trey Lance start for them in this game. If the 49ers are able to win this game and head into the regular season with an undefeated preseason record, they could have all the momentum they need to have a good start in the regular season.

I think the 49ers will be the better team in this game. Although the Texans have been playing great in the preseason, I don’t think they have had to face a quarterback talent like Trey Lance. Both of these teams know how to score and should be able to put together many scoring opportunities. However, the defense of the 49ers might interfere with the offense of the Texans as they have been on a tear. Even though it is the preseason, whoever wins this game end the preseason as an undefeated team which is pretty impressive.

For our expert Houston Texans vs San Francisco 49ers prediction take the over on the 42.0 total points scored in the game.
