A battle of two NFL juggernauts is on the table tonight when the Detroit Lions (7-1) head South to Texas to take on the Houston Texans (6-3) from NRG Stadium on Sunday Night Football. The Texans have been in control of the AFC South since the onset of the season, but after a couple of stumbles, they have found that gap closed between them and the Indianapolis Colts. Luckily for them, they own the tie-breaker as they have beaten the Colts twice already this season.

As for the Detroit Lions, they are looking like one of, if not the, best teams in the entire league. They are off to a tremendous start with their lone loss coming against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers early in the season. While they have a lead in the NFC North, the likes of the Vikings and Packers are hoping that they falter at some point.

Here is all the information you need for tonight's matchup under the open dome between the visiting Detroit Lions and the Houston Texans.

Texans vs. Lions Preview

The Lions have one of the best offenses in the entire NFL and will pose the biggest challenge for the Texans' defense thus far. They can move the ball in any fashion with their balanced approach and handful of playmakers.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff is efficient when throwing the ball, and the Texans will have a hard time disrupting him with superstar defensive end Will Anderson Jr. out for the contest.

The potential return of Nico Collins alongside Tank Dell being active will prove to be a major factor for Houston as they look to pick up a huge, momentum-swinging victory.

Prediction For Houston Texans vs. Detroit Lions

While the Texans could strengthen their wide receiver room with the return of Collins, there is still plenty to be learned about the club's offensive line. They've struggled thus far and giving Stroud enough time to make big plays will determine their production on that side of the ball. The Lions' offense will prove to be too much as they will come away with a 27-14 victory in Houston.
