Houston Texans’ Prolific Offense Offers Great Betting Opportunities

One thing that virtually every NFL pundit, fan, and expert analyst can agree on heading into the 2024 NFL season: The Houston Texans are expected to feature one of the most exciting offenses in the entire National Football League. That was already the case last season, but the acquisitions of RB Joe Mixon and WR Stefon Diggs represent major upgrades over last season’s personnel.

So, if you’re bullish on the Texans offense, like me, then there are definitely opportunities to make money in the futures space. Courtesy of BetOnline, here are the season production totals for CJ Stroud’s four main players for the upcoming season, after which I’ll give my three favorite bets for the upcoming season:

Joe Mixon
Racing yards — 875½
Rushing TDs — 7½
Receptions — 40½
Receiving yards — 300½

Nico Collins
Receptions — 79½
Receiving yards — 1050½
TD reception — 5½

Stefon Diggs
Receptions — 86½
Receiving yards — 950½
TD reception — 5½

Dell Tank
Receptions — 65½
Receiving yards — 850½
TD reception — 4½
Alright, here we go. Here are the three OVER/UNDER bets I have the most confidence in for the upcoming season.

Dell PLUS 4.5 TD Tank
Dell threw for seven total touchdowns last season in just 11 games, including five in his last four full games, before leaving the Week 13 game against Denver with a broken leg. I can’t imagine Dell, whose chemistry with C.J. Stroud was at its peak when he injured his leg, not being able to throw for five touchdowns. It feels like you’re betting solely on Tank’s health.

Joe Mixon OVER 875.5 rushing yards
Last season’s leading rusher for the Texans, Devin Singletary, finished with 898 yards rushing, and that was in a season where he didn’t become the starting running back until two months into the campaign. Mxon will be the opening-day starter, likely behind a healthy offensive line, and oh yeah, he’s a much better player than Singletary.

Joe Mixon OVER 300.5 RECEIVING YARDS
Go ahead and add Mixon and take over the receiving yards, a statistic he’s had 314, 441 and 376 yards in over the last three seasons.
