In primetime, the Detroit Lions will travel to Houston to meet the Texans in a game that is anticipated to be intense and close. The Detroit Lions are coming off a fantastic victory in Green Bay, where they demonstrated their ability to win in inclement weather while playing excellently on both sides of the ball. The Texans are coming off an awful loss to the Jets on Thursday Night Football as they could not generate many offensive plays. In what is expected to be a hard-fought battle, here are 3 bets I think have the best chance to hit in this game.
Detroit Lions vs Houston Texans Match Details
- Fixture: NRG Stadium
- Date: November 10th
- Time: 8:20 pm EST
Jared Goff: 250+ Passing Yards (+152)
Jared Goff has been excellent lately, taking care of the football and making great passes. He hasn’t thrown an interception since week three and has consistently been able to find open receivers. Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to be his go-to guy for the Detroit Lions, and the duo will likely connect often again this week.
Given how poorly the Texans have been defending the pass, he should have a strong game. Wide receiver Jameson Williams will return for the Detroit Lions on Sunday, giving Goff another target. Goff hasn’t thrown for 250 yards in the last two games, but I believe that changes and he will have a fantastic game via the air against the Texans.
Joe Mixon: Under 82.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
This season, Joe Mixon has been outstanding, but I believe the Texans will pass the ball a lot against the Lions. It is expected CJ Stroud will make a lot of attempts to target wide receiver Nico Collins, who the Texans are expected to get back for this game. It’s unclear if he will be on a snap count, but when he’s in, the Texans will likely be looking to pass more than run.
The Detroit Lions run defense has had trouble, but Za’Darius Smith’s arrival should help them get back to their pre-Aiden Hutchinson level. The current line is 82.5 yards, and while he has hit the mark in every game but one, I think he gets just under that against the Lions.
Amon-Ra St. Brown: Anytime TD (+120)
Amon-Ra St. Brown has a touchdown in six straight games, and I expect him to get another one against the Texans. St. Brown has been Goff’s go-to guy, and despite not having a lot of yards is still having a great year. He currently has 6 touchdowns on the year, which is tied for 2nd in the NFL.
The Texans don’t have a great pass defense, giving up the second most passing touchdowns in the NFL, so they should have plenty of opportunities to hook up in the red zone the entire game. I expect Goff and St. Brown to have a big week, and for Goff to find him in the end zone for a 7th straight game for the Detroit Lions.
