Texans vs Jets Player Props

Workhorse back Joe Mixon has the highest rush attempt total at 20.5, which might have something to do with both Stef Diggs and Nico Collins out due to injury.

Receiver Tank Dell has the Texans’ highest receiving yards prop at 56.5 — the same number as Jets receiver Davante Adams. Both are looking up at Garrett Wilson, at 61.5.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the high man for passing yards with a line set at 232.5, 10 yards more than CJ Stroud.

Texans vs Jets Player Prop #1: Rodgers Passing Touchdowns

If New York intends to break out of its 5-game losing streak, a standout performance from Aaron Rodgers is probably a must.

For him to win this bet for you, he’ll need to be … pretty much what he has been of late.

Rodgers has thrown for at least two TD passes three times over the last four games, including last time out in a 27-22 stunner of a loss to the Patriots.

Houston is susceptible to the pass, ranking inside the Bottom 10 in yards allowed, and their 16 TD passes against is second worst in the NFL.

In four career starts against the Texans (all while with the Packers) Rodgers has thrown for at least two TD passes in each.

• Texans vs Jets Prop Pick: Rodgers OVER 1.5 TD passes (+120); risk 1 unit at DraftKings

HOU vs NYJ Player Prop #2: Mixon Rushing Attempts

With Stefon Diggs out for the year with a knee injury, and Nico Collins (hamstring) still not ready to go, Houston will be without its two top receivers against the Jets.

As the Jets aren’t exactly scoring dynamo’s this one should be kept close, which should allow the Texans to feed workhorse back Joe Mixon early and often.

Mixon has helped overshadow what has been a poor passing game so far, with three straight games running for better than 100 yards.

He’s had 25 carries in each of the last two games, and his usage should be up there again, in a game where points might be tough to come by. It’s a high, but makeable line.

• Texans vs Jets Prop Picks: Mixon Over 20.5 rush attempts (+110); risk 1 unit at DraftKings

Texans vs Jets Touchdown Scorer Props

Running backs Joe Mixon and Breece hall are the only players on the board with minus odds to score an anytime TD. Davante Adams has the next best odds of scoring a major at +140.

Texans vs Jets Player Prop #3: Adams Anytime TD

Mixon has scored at least one touchdown in seven of his last eight road appearances, while Texans’ TD Dalton Schultz has scored at least one TD in three of his last four TNF games.

On the New York side, Ty Conklin has touchdown grabs in each of the Jets’ last two games, while Davante Adams has found the endzone in each of his previous two appearances at MetLife Stadium.

The latest marquee big name coming to New York has been quiet since arriving on the scene, so look for Adams to find paydirt in his third game with the Jets.

• Texans vs Jets Prop Picks: Adams anytime touchdown (+140); risk 1 unit at DraftKings Sportsbook

Last week: 1-2

This season: 4-13, -10.34 units

Thursday Night Football is back with an exciting matchup between the Houston Texans and New York Jets in Week 9. While the game itself promises to be a thrilling showdown, there are also plenty of player prop bets to consider for those looking to add some extra excitement to the game.

One player prop bet that stands out for this game is the over/under on total passing yards for Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson has been on fire recently, throwing for over 300 yards in three of his last four games. The Jets defense has struggled against the pass this season, allowing an average of 263.6 passing yards per game. With Watson’s ability to make plays both through the air and on the ground, taking the over on his passing yards total could be a smart bet.

Another player prop bet to consider is the over/under on total receiving yards for Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder. Crowder has emerged as a favorite target for quarterback Sam Darnold, racking up over 100 receiving yards in two of his last three games. The Texans defense has been vulnerable against the pass this season, giving up an average of 277.3 passing yards per game. With Crowder’s ability to make big plays in the passing game, taking the over on his receiving yards total could pay off.

For those looking for a more high-risk, high-reward bet, consider placing a wager on the first touchdown scorer of the game. Both teams have explosive playmakers on offense who are capable of finding the end zone early in the game. Texans wide receiver Will Fuller and Jets running back Le’Veon Bell are two players to keep an eye on as potential first touchdown scorers. Betting on either of these players to score the first touchdown of the game could result in a big payout.

Overall, there are plenty of player prop bets to consider for Thursday Night Football between the Texans and Jets in Week 9. Whether you’re looking to bet on individual player performances or the outcome of the game, there are plenty of opportunities to add some extra excitement to the game. Good luck and happy betting!
