Fans of MVP quarterbacks have an exciting matchup to look forward to at Lambeau Field this afternoon as the Houston Texans visit the Green Bay Packers. With a strong record of 5-1, the Texans are aiming for their best start since 2012, bolstered by impressive performances from second-year quarterback C.J. Stroud.
On the other side, the Packers, led by second-year starter Jordan Love, are also in contention for the NFC North division title. Both Stroud and Love were seen as potential All-Pro candidates and favorites for the Most Valuable Player Award at the start of the season. Today’s game could reinforce their MVP credentials, while the losing team may face challenges in the remainder of the season.
Here is the viewing information for the Texans-Packers game:
TV Channel: CBS
Start time: Noon CT
The game will be aired nationally on CBS during Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season, with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo calling the action from the booth at Lambeau Field, accompanied by sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson.
For streaming options, viewers can watch the game on Fubo TV.
In terms of predictions, the Texans are dealing with the absence of five defensive starters while facing a potent Packers passing game, which has thrived since Love took the reins. Given these circumstances, the Packers are expected to win by a margin of 10 points, with a final predicted score of Packers 30, Texans 20.
Current betting odds show the Packers favored by 3 points, and the total over/under is set at 48.5.
