My best Buccaneers vs. Texans player props dive into both rushing attacks, and back Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield to keep the ball moving against a strong Houston Texans defensive unit. Kickoff from NRG Stadium in Houston is set for 7 p.m. ET.

Props aren't the only way we're tackling this game - we've got you covered with our Buccaneers vs. Texans prediction for Monday Night Football, too.

⬇️ Nick Chubb Under 50.5 rushing yards (-110)⭐⭐⭐⭐

This play has more to do with the Tampa Bay run-stopping unit and less to do with Nick Chubb's ability to run the ball.

We all saw what Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson and the Falcons' offensive line did to the Minnesota Vikings in prime time last night - they repeatedly gashed Minnesota's front-seven for big runs while creating holes a truck could drive through. Well, Atlanta tried that against the Bucs in Week 1, too, and Tampa's rush EPA per play allowed was -0.51.

Overall, the Bucs allowed just 2.9 yards per carry against one of the best running backs in football. Chubb may be in for tough sledding tonight against one of the best run-stopping units in the NFL, and we're taking his Under with four-star confidence as part of our best Buccaneers vs. Texans player props.

Make sure you head to DraftKings to get 50.5 rushing yards, as you'll find 48.5-49.5 everywhere else. A $10 winning wager at -110 betting odds (52.4%) would net $9.09 in profits.

We're also fading Chubb in favor of his backup in our anytime touchdown scorer predictions.

🔥 Bucky Irving anytime touchdown scorer (+134) ⭐⭐⭐

Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is a touchdown machine.

Not only did he find the end zone in Week 1, but since taking over full-time duties in the Tampa Bay backfield, he's scored in eight of 13 games - that won't change tonight.

The Bucs also owned one of the best red-zone offenses in football in 2024, scoring a touchdown on 66% of their trips inside the 20, which was good for fourth-best in the NFL. The reincarnation of Doug Martin's "Muscle Hamster" is alive and well, expect Bucky to hit pay dirt tonight.

The value at FanDuel for this wager is phenomenal compared to the +110 you'll find anywhere else. At +134 betting odds, a $10 wager if Irving finds the end zone would pay out $34 in profits.

⬆️ Baker Mayfield Over 251.5 passing + rushing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Baker Mayfield is easily one of the more entertaining quarterbacks in all of football. He'll put his body on the line for a win, and that's why we're backing his passing + rushing numbers tonight.

While he only threw for 167 yards against a strong Atlanta defense in Week 1, he still ran for 39, and went over this number 11 times last season - throwing for 300-plus yards six times. Take away his rushing yards, and he still went over this total 10 times alone. Mayfield is the ultimate gamer and a guy who is a prop darling. I'm playing this one with four-star confidence and have locked it in as part of my best Buccaneers vs. Texans player props.

Mayfield has a 53.50% implied probability through BetMGM's -115 odds to go over his passing + rushing number tonight. A $10 winning wager at -115 odds would net $8.70 in profits.

How do NFL player props work?

Player props are wagers on individual performances rather than the outcome of the game. Common props include passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, and touchdown scorers. For example, if a QB’s passing yards line is set at 250.5, you can bet the Over (251-plus yards) or Under (250 or fewer yards). You can also bet on if a specific player will score a touchdown in the entire game, the first or last touchdown, and more NFL odds markets.

You can determine the payouts and implied probabilities for any wager - or convert odds to different formats - with our odds converter.
