Thursday Night Football Prop: Ben Tate/Maurice Jones-Drew
Tate Scores a TD [+100] Got the Red Stag stocked for the evening as Texas freaks out about a pending ice storm that probably allows me a Friday off too - so what is to complain about? Tate is still nursing a tender ankle and cracked ribs, but showed little effects against the Pats last week as he scored three times. He goes against a Jackson run D that gives up 130 yards per game. They have given up 16 rushing TDs on the season, second only to Chicago. Tate got 20+ touches last week and if he gets somewhere in that neighborhood again, I think he'll have a shot to get into the end zone.
Jones-Drew Scores a TD [+125] MJD goes against a Houston club that has allowed ten rushing TDs which ranks right around the middle of the pack in the NFL. He had a big week against the Texans a couple weeks ago with 84 yards and a score. He has a rushing TD in 3/4 games. The Texans have given up a rushing TD in 4/6 games.
Going equal stakes on both. If one scores you don't lose money and can make a little something if it's MJD.
