49ers at Texans prediction: Odds, expert picks, QB matchup, injury update, betting trends, and stats
Despite being one of the most banged-up teams in the NFL, San Francisco sits tied atop the NFC West with the Seahawks and the Rams. A big reason is the play of Jones under center. The veteran has resurrected his career in leading San Francisco forward despite injuries to a laundry list of players including Brock Purdy, Brandon Aiyuk, and Nick Bosa.
Ever since Kyle Shanahan took over as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, there has been a certain section of fans who have waited for the other shoe to drop.
The San Francisco 49ers need a linebacker and it just so happens their old friend, Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans, likely has one available for trade ahead of the deadline.
DeMeco Ryans vividly remembers a moment years ago while working as an assistant for coach Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco when he sat him down in his office and told him he believed he could be an NFL head coach one day.
CJ Stroud is not a bad quarterback, but it is clear that the Houston Texans' gunslinger is starting to have issues dealing with the pressure that he faces every week due to the offensive line issues his team endures.

Offensive coordinator Nick Caley has been under heavy fire through the first half of the season for his scheme and several questionable coaching decisions on a weekly basis.
