In 15 games, Clowney finished with nine sacks and one forced fumble as well as three fumble recoveries. Only the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears allowed fewer last season. However, Clowney’s departure from the defensive line is going to leave a massive void on the team that allowed a third-best 82.7 rushing yards per game in 2018. Me: So you telling me you’re not chasing me anymore? : “Nah bro…all other QBs” Watt, the club finished 12th in team defense in 2018, allowing just 5,490 total yards. With Houston’s 1-2 punch of Clowney and J.J. Seattle will get a game-ready pass-rusher.Ĭonversely, the Seahawks saw their Super Bowl 54 odds improve slightly following the Clowney trade, going from +2800 early in the week to +2500 on Saturday. New #Seahawks pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney has been training in Florida all summer, and according to someone who has watched him, is in better shape than he’s been in in years. The Texans opened as +3300 long shots to win Super Bowl 54, but the team’s chances improved drastically following Andrew Luck’s decision to retire - further boosting their chances in the AFC South.

Is there still value in betting on the Texans at this price with Clowney out and Tunsil in? The modest move in odds likely also had to do with Houston finalizing a trade late Saturday for Miami Dolphins left tackle Laremy Tunsil, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
