Best NFL Thursday Night Football Player Prop Picks

We’re quite confident that fans will be excited to have NFL TNF player prop picks for this matchup given the odds in terms of the standard markets. Despite a 2-6 Jets team facing a 6-2 Texans team, New York is actually favored!

It’s only by a point or so, which has even flip-flopped at some sportsbooks, making it even more difficult to predict. We also have significant injuries to keep an eye on, most recently Houston WR Stefon Diggs. Those situations can also create value with those that will be on the field, making Texans vs. Jets player props even more popular.

With all that in mind, let’s get into our best NFL TNF player prop picks to help you get set for the game!

 

 

 

Texans vs. Jets Player Props: Joe Mixon Over 77.5 Rushing Yards (-115 at DraftKings)

Thanks to DraftKings, we’re getting value with the first of our NFL TNF player prop picks before ever breaking anything down! The Texans RB has his rushing prop as high as 80.5 yards elsewhere, so a few yards less is excellent.

Even still, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Mixon rip off a 100-yard performance. After all, he’s done in every game but one this season! He’s been absolutely stellar for his new team after leaving the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason, and he wasted no time in proving himself.

In Houston's first game of the year, they fed Mixon 30 carries, which he turned into 159 yards and a touchdown. He suffered an injury in Week 2, so he finished that game with just nine carries. Not only was that the only outlier in terms of 100-yard games, but it was the only one in which he hasn’t found the endzone!

We wouldn’t be opposed to adding that to your NFL TNF player prop picks, but with -145 odds, we see better value here. To recap - Mixon has rushed for 102, 115, 102 and 159 yards in the four games he’s completed this season. 

Therefore, we’ll gladly take Joe Mixon over 77.5 rushing yards (-115 at DraftKings Sportsbook) against a Jets defense that allows over 125 rushing yards per game!

 

 

 

Texans vs. Jets Player Prop Bets: Breece Hall Over 15.5 Carries (-130 at DraftKings)

Speaking of where the Jets have been porous on defense, the script for Houston is much the same. In fact, New York and Houston rank second and third, respectively, against the pass, while they both need to improve against the run.

Although the Texans don’t have quite as much work to do, we’ve also seen that Jets QB Aaron Rodgers has not been his former MVP self. It’s a stat that's been shown more and more the more that New York struggles, but Rodgers has not thrown for 300+ passing yards in 30 straight games now!

That means more reliance on the running game, so while our NFL TNF player prop picks may not provide the most variety, they are for good reason. While we’re sticking with the same position, we at least have a slightly different market for you.

Hall hasn’t been nearly as consistent yardage-wise, but the volume has actually been increasing. While it was hindered by the emergence of youngster Braelon Allen, the trust has been put back into Hall.

After being given 14+ carries in the first three games of the year, he’s gotten 16, 12 and 18 carries the past three games. As it becomes more and more evident that Rodgers can no longer take over games, we expected that to continue, if not increase even more.

With all that in mind, we’ll add to our NFL TNF player prop picks with Breece Hall over 15.5 carries (-130 at DraftKings Sportsbook).
