This is an 8* play on the Houston Texans.

Oh how the mighty have fallen, the 49ers are now considered a team in transition, while the Texans are viewed as an under-the-radar team. San Francisco finished 30th in passing last year and struggled defensively, ranking 25th in passing TD's allowed. The team went out and added Torrey Smith and Reggie Bush, but it's obviously going to take some time for all the new pieces to gel. Houston was just 2-14 in 2013, but then went 9-7 in 2014 and narrowly missed the playoffs. The Texans were one of the best defensively, recording 34 takeaways last year, the most in the league. Nate Washington and Cecil Shorts III are expected to fill the void left by WR Andre Johnson. Houston though has some key position battles going on which we feel will be the difference, the fight between Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer will be interesting for QB and the team will also be looking to fill the void left in the backfield due to the Arian Foster injury. The QB battle in HOUSTON turns out to be the difference here.
