Buccaneers vs. Texans NFL Player Props, Odds: Picks & Predictions

Anthony Wootton

Last Updated: November 5, 2023 11:14 AM EST • 3 min 10 sec read.

Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans returns to his home field after a lackluster performance on the road in Week 8, and we expect a bounce-back in our Week 9 Buccaneers vs. Texans NFL player prop predictions, based on the most favorable NFL odds available.

Under the guidance of first-year head coach DeMeco Ryans, the Houston Texans have shown promise this season, and they have the opportunity to reach a .500 record with a victory on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have experienced a three-game losing streak but can also achieve a .500 record if they secure a win.

Both teams are vying for a wild-card spot this season, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the advantage of having wide receiver Mike Evans, who is on course to achieve his 10th consecutive season with over 1,000 receiving yards. Evans has been a model of consistency since entering the NFL and has been a key asset for this Buccaneers team. 

To accompany all of our NFL predictions for Week 9 and NFL best bets, here are our best Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Houston Texans NFL player props for Week 9 (odds via our best NFL betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Buccaneers vs. Texans NFL player props: Week 9

Mike Evans anytime touchdown scorer (+170 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mike Evans has scored a touchdown in all but two games for the Buccaneers this season. Four touchdowns have come versus press coverage, which is the second-most in the league. The line for Evans’s receiving yards total in this matchup is 53.5, but the Texans only allow 236.1 passing yards per game this season, which is among the top ten pass defenses in the league. Evans has topped that total four times this year, but against this defense, I’d back Baker Mayfield’s primary target to find the endzone instead of playing the total.

C.J. Stroud Over 236.5 passing yards (-114 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐

The Buccaneers have the fifth-worst passing defense in the league, allowing 256 yards per game. C.J. Stroud threw for 140 yards last week, the lowest mark in his seven NFL games and his second straight game with fewer than 200 passing yards. However, before those two games, Stroud had exceeded this total in each of his games. He is averaging 257.1 passing yards per game this season, well over the total in this matchup.

Chase McLaughlin Over 1.5 field goals (+118 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐

This is a game between two 3-4 teams, which means it could be close. Each team will be looking to grab whatever points they can in this matchup to inch further away from the other. It’s also indoors, which suits kickers. Chase McLaughlin has failed to kick multiple field goals in only two games this season. He has nailed three kicks from 50+ yards. Baker Mayfield has been sacked three times in each of his last two games. If this is to happen deep in Texans territory, it could be the difference between going for a touchdown or settling for the three points.
