Streaming defenses isn't so much about the quality of the defense, but about the quality of the opponent. That's the case this week as the Green Bay Packers host Brock Osweiler and the Houston Texans.

Osweiler is coming off a three-interception game against the San Diego Chargers, which brings his season total to 13 picks, tied for the most in the league. Osweiler has thrown at least one interception in all but two games this year.

On the season, the Texans are giving up the eighth-most points to opposing defenses and three out of the past four teams to face the Texans have put forth a top-10 defensive performance on the week.

The Packers defense hasn't been pretty -- they rank 24th, according to our schedule-adjusted metrics -- but the defense showed signs of life against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, sacking Carson Wentz four times and forcing one interception while allowing only 13 points.

Betting against Osweiler has been successful more often than not this year. In Week 13, we can go back to the well one more time.
