The Houston Texans have spent the offseason strategically adding to their young roster in an effort to close the gap on their AFC competitors.They took their boldest step with Wednesday’s trade for wide receiver Stefon Diggs. News of the deal with the Buffalo Bills caused oddsmakers to immediately adjust the futures markets for both teams, along with division, league and even Super Bowl odds.When the offseason began, the Texans were +2000 at DraftKings to win the Super Bowl and +1100 to win the AFC Championship. Despite adding veteran running back Joe Mixon during the first few weeks of the new league season, Houston’s odds had lengthened a bit to +2500 and +1200, respectively, by March 25.That all changed significantly with Wednesday’s blockbuster move, which will see the Texans send a 2024 second-round pick to the Bills while receiving a sixth-round pick this year and a fifth-round pick in 2025.The reaction was similar at other sportsbooks.Houston’s Super Bowl odds shortened from +2200 to +1600 at BetRivers, where their AFC title odds moved from +1000 to +750. At BetMGM, the Texans’ odds moved from +1600 to +1500 and from +650 to +750, respectively.BetMGM maintained the team’s Over/Under win total at 9.5 games, but the price moved from -100 to -145 on the Over and from -110 to +120 on the Under.The impact was predictably the opposite for Buffalo’s futures.After opening at +900 at DraftKings, the Bills are now at +1200 to win the Super Bowl. They have also moved from +475 to +700 to win the AFC, with the Texans now right behind them.Buffalo’s Super Bowl odds moved from +1200 to +1400 at BetRivers. However, they went unchanged at BetMGM, where the Bills’ win total market also remained at 10.5 games. The price did shift from -120 to +100 on the Over and from +100 to -120 on the Under.BILLS/TEXANS FUTURES (DraftKings)Bills Super Bowl–Opened: +900–3/25: +1100–Currently: +1200Texans Super Bowl–Opened: +2000–3/25: +2500–Currently: +1600Bills AFC–Opened: +475–3/25: +550–Currently: +700Texans AFC–Opened: +1100–3/25: +1200–Currently: +850
