Texans vs. Jets Best NFL Prop Betting Odds for Week 9 Thursday Night Football

The New York Jets cannot afford to lose another game if they want to keep their hopes of making the playoffs alive. They’ll get a tough test on Halloween night when they welcome the 6-2 Houston Texans to MetLife Stadium on the Week 9 edition of Thursday Night Football.

In what could be a surprise to some, the Jets are listed as 1.5-point favorites FanDuel Sportsbook with the total for the game set at 42.5.

Let’s take a look at a few player props I like for this AFC matchup.

Joe Mixon OVER 77.5 Rushing Yards (-115) via DraftKings

The New York Jets are believed to have an elite defense, but that is only partially true. Their secondary is one of the best in the NFL, but their run defense leaves a lot to be desired. The Jets currently rank 21st in opponent rush EPA and 24th in opponent rush success rate, leaving the door open for Joe Mixon to have a big performance.

The former Bengal has rushed for over 100 yards in three consecutive starts and is now averaging 100.6 rushing yards per game this season.

Dalton Schultz OVER 4.5 receptions (+126) via FanDuel

The Texans are now down another receiver, with Stefon Diggs out for the year with a torn ACL. That leads me to believe that CJ Stroud will be forced to lean on his tight end, Dalton Shultz, even more than usual. Shultz is already tied for the most goals among healthy pass catchers on the Texans this season with 38. If those goals keep coming, there’s a good chance he’ll rack up five receptions on Thursday night.

Aaron Rodgers UNDER 21.5 completions (-111) via BetMGM

The Texans secondary is elite. They rank second in the NFL in yards per opponent pass attempt (5.4) and more importantly are the NFL leaders in opponent completion percentage, allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete just 53.06% of their complete throws. That’s 6% better than the next best team in that metric.

Rodgers is going to see ghosts on Halloween night, which will keep him from reaching 22 completions.
