Player Prop Prediction: Take the Over for Cooper’s Yards
The last time we saw Amari Cooper face the Texans, he was going for 265 yards and two touchdowns. His over/under for yards today is 78.5, which is a number he has eclipsed in three straight games (which includes the aforementioned 265-yard outburst vs. Houston in Week 16). While the Texans are likely to focus on taking out Cooper today, this prop is still too good to pass.
Amari Cooper Over 78.5 Receiving Yards
Player Prop Prediction: Take the Over for Stroud’s Passing Yards
Stroud averages 310.8 yards passing and 2.1 touchdowns passing at home. Today he’ll face a Cleveland secondary that will be without safety Grant Delpit and one dealing with injuries to No. 1 corner Denzel Ward and other safety Juan Thornhill. Stroud should throw it all over the yard today.
C.J. Stroud Over 244.5 Passing Yards
Player Prop Prediction: Take the Under on Singletary’s Rushing Yards
Devin Singletary was held to 44 yards rushing in the Texans’ Week 16 loss to the Browns in Houston. The Texans fell behind and needed to throw to get back tin the game, which meant Singletary only had nine carries in the game. Case Keenum started for an injured Stroud in that game, so I don’t expect Houston to fall behind badly like it did in that game. Still, Singletary has only gone over 66.5 rushing yards twice in his last seven games.
Devin Singletary Under 66.5 Rushing Yards
Player Prop Prediction: Take Schultz for Any Time Touchdown
Dalton Schultz’s 20.4 percent TPRR ranks eighth among 16 NFL tight ends with at least 75 targets. The Texans have targeted him around the goal line five times, which is tied for second-most on the team. Cleveland’s coverage against tight ends has been spotty at best, allowing receptions at the third-highest rate (76.2) in the league. This prop has tremendous value at its current odds.
Dalton Schultz Any Time Touchdown +260
