Lions vs Texans Best Bet ATS: Lions -3.5 (-108)
If you’re just looking at these respective teams records, there’s a lot to get excited about in this matchup between the Texans and Lions. Even though the Texans are right in the mix in the AFC this year, the Lions are a different beast. It’s not just that the Lions are winning a ton of football games, it’s how they continue to win those games. The Lions are deep in the trenches, and the schemes that they run on both sides of the ball are difficult to slow down. As much as there’s a lot of talent in this Houston locker room, the Lions have too many edges at key positions to look their way on Sunday night. This is an opportunity for the Texans to make a statement, but the Lions ultimately prove to be too difficult an opponent.

Lions vs Texans Best Bet Total: UNDER 48.5 (-110)
There are so many things that the Lions do well on both sides of the football that it’s not difficult to make a case for either direction here. The Lions defense can apply pressure, and is strong with the “bend don’t break" mindset. I think the Lions will want to continue winning the wars in the trenches in this matchup, meaning expect a continued run heavy approach. The Lions can milk the clock and take the air out of a stadium with how physical their offensive line is. The Texans have some offensive weapons that need to be watched, but the Lions can keep them at bay enough to fall under the number.

Lions vs Texans Best Player Props
Amon-Ra St. Brown Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+135)
One player that’s continued to see his overall confidence grow on a weekly basis is Amon-Ra St. Brown. It takes some amount of stones to wear a “Green Bay sucks" shirt to an opposing rivals home field. St. Brown is a heavily featured target in this offense, and has a lot of value in the red zone. The comfort level that the Lions’ offense has in St. Brown to be an elite route runner and make plays in tight has really created some strong value for him to find the end zone in this matchup.
