The Washington Redskins are taking on the Houston Texans in a key Week 11 matchup. Here’s a look at the top matchups to watch, a score prediction, and a full preview for the contest.

After Week 11, either the Redskins or the Texans are going to be 7-3. One team will have a stranglehold on their division while the other will be in the thick of the Wild Card race. Say what you want about the ‘Skins’ performance so far, but most fans are happy that they’re guaranteed a winning record after this game and will still be in charge of the NFC East, win or lose.

Of course, getting to seven wins early would be nice. The team is also at home, and they could be determined to show up after being embarrassed by the Falcons last time they were at FedEx Field. All of this will play a role in the team trying to put themselves in control just before they head into their Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Cowboys.

The Texans aren’t an easy opponent. They’re on a hot streak, and Deshaun Watson should be fully healthy following the bye week. He had been dealing with rib/lung issues earlier in the season but after the bye, he should be good to go.

Without further ado, here’s an in-depth preview for the Redskins vs. Texans game, including matchups to watch and a score prediction.
