Four weeks into the 2026 NFL season, the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers are winless, raising concerns about their preseason projections. The Texans, at 0-4 and 0-4 ATS, have seen their Super Bowl odds drop from 45-1 to 18-1 entering Week 1 to a season win total of 7.5, down from 9.5. Despite defensive struggles allowing 27 points per game, C.
J. Stroud has been solid with 1,141 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions, though red zone execution remains poor. Improvement hinges on the run game and secondary play.
The Chargers, also 0-4 (0-3-1 ATS), face offensive line issues with Rashawn Slater doubtful, Joe Alt and Trevor Penning questionable, and Tyler Biadasz on IR. Justin Herbert is under pressure, leading to turnovers and stalled drives. The defense has forced five turnovers but still lost to Buffalo.
Simplifying the offense and relying on Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell is advised. The Rams remain Super Bowl favorites, but their regular-season win total presents a fading opportunity. The 49ers’ 4-0 start validates their OVER 9.5 season win total prediction, though Super Bowl contention remains untested at +850 odds.
