With the Houston Texans Week 14 matchup being against the Seattle Seahawks, this franchise has a real chance at earning another win. Both teams are on the bottom of the totem pole, but a victory could build some momentum for the remainder of the season. We take a look at this Texans-Seahawks game with some of our Texans Week 14 predictions in mind.
Houston has been a hot mess this year but they have a chance to earn a win on Sunday. The Seahawks have been struggling throughout the year, making this a moment for the Texans to strike. Look for the defense to do what's necessary to slow down Russell Wilson.
Seattle has one of, if not, the worst pass defense in the league. They continuously get torched through the air which bodes well for Houston. Look for Nico Collins and Brandin Cooks to get involved early and often. Furthermore, Davis Mills is back under center and could provide the boost this offense needs. With that said, here are four bold Texans Week 14 predictions for their game against the Seahawks.

Texans Week 14 Predictions
4. Texans defense bottles up Russell Wilson
This is much easier said than done, as Russell Wilson is incredibly difficult to slow down. However, he hasn't had the best season so far and the Texans could take advantage of that. With Seattle's coaching staff choosing to stick to their putrid run game, Houston has a chance to put the Seahawks in bad situations throughout.
If that's the case, the Texans will aim to bottle up Wilson and give themselves a huge advantage. Houston will do everything possible to force the Seahawks into third and long, making Seattle sway from their game plan.
3. Nico Collins proves to be Houston's receiver of the future
Although he hasn't played much this year, Nico Collins has flashed his potential periodically. He is still adjusting to the professional level, but he could be in for a big performance on Sunday. With the Seahawks' pass coverage being absolutely dreadful, the Texans would benefit from airing it out. Collins could be the main beneficiary if Houston can consistently throw the ball.
2. Brandin Cooks bounces back with 100+ yards and 1 touchdown performance
It's been a rough few weeks for Brandin Cooks but he's in line to bounce back in a huge way. The Texans must consider throwing the ball often against the Seahawks as it's the easiest route to victory. Cooks is a phenomenal receiver who has played well this year despite the poor quarterback play. We should see him take advantage of Seattle's weak secondary.
1. Davis Mills leads Houston to a victory
Davis Mills has actually looked decent with his limited opportunities. The Texans might have something if they take the time to develop him. This game against the Seahawks is huge for Mills, as it's another opportunity for him to prove himself to Houston.
Considering the Seahawks can't stop the pass to save their lives, we should see Davis Mills throwing the ball more often than not. If the Texans play this right, they could be in store for a big win over Seattle on Sunday.
