Substantial Reaction To Davis Mills Starting At QB For Houston

BetQL Game Page

As you can see above, the Texans opened at +4.5 and are now all the way up to +8 following the injury news of Tyrod Taylor.

Mills was selected as a long-term project by the Houston Texans in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, with both Deshaun Watson and Taylor ahead of him on the depth chart.

With Watson away from the team due to the serious allegations made against him and Taylor now on the IR, he will start Thursday’s game against the Carolina Panthers. Relieving Taylor in Week 2, Mills went 8-18 passing for 102 yards, a touchdown and an interception in an inefficient outing. 

This matchup won't be any easier for him.

FanDuel is giving him a 220.5 passing yardage over/under, but BetQL’s model is projecting that he will throw for just 180 yards with a touchdown and an interception. 

BetQL is also projecting that Houston’s offense will generate only 18.5 points.
