The Houston Texans host the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football at 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC) at NRG Stadium. 

Our C.J. Stroud SNF player prop bets expect the Texans' franchise QB to put together a strong performance at home, despite the Sunday Night Football odds having the visiting Lions as a 3.5-point favorite.

If the home team hopes to prove our Lions vs. Texans prediction wrong, Stroud will need to step up his game after two shaky starts over his last three outings. 

Wide receiver Nico Collins has been on the sidelines with a hamstring injury for the last four weeks and is listed as questionable to return this week. He has been limited in practice and our Week 10 NFL predictions expect him to play, which is great news for the Texans' Super Bowl odds.

We also looked at this game with our Lions vs. Texans SNF prop bets, Jared Goff SNF player prop bets, and first touchdown scorer predictions.

C.J. Stroud touchdown pick vs. Lions

C.J. Stroud Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+140) ⭐⭐⭐

Stroud is tied with five other quarterbacks for the 10th-most touchdowns in the league (11) despite key injuries to his corps of pass catchers. 

The young arm has thrown for multiple touchdowns three times this season. His highest output on the year came in Week 6 when he tossed three touchdowns passes against the New England Patriots. 

He will face a tough Lions defense that has yet to allow a quarterback to complete more than one touchdown pass so far this season. 

However, the Under for this prop is almost unbeatable at -170 on bet365 and even -189 on Caesars, so taking a chance on the Over offers more value.

Best odds: +140 via bet365 | Implied probability: 41.67%

C.J. Stroud player props

NFL picks made Saturday; odds subject to change.

C.J. Stroud Over 31.5 pass attempts (-125) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stroud is averaging 32.9 pass attempts per game over his first nine starts of the season. He has reached the Over on this prop in five of his games this year.

The Texans’ signal-caller topped this mark in four of five matchups with Collins in the lineup. He came up one pass attempt short in the only game in which he missed hitting this total in that span. 

Opposing quarterbacks are averaging 38.3 pass attempts against the Lions this year. Detroit is allowing the third-highest passing play percentage (64.9%) in the league. They have allowed six of the eight quarterbacks they have faced to surpass this prop total.

Best odds: -125 via bet365 | Implied probability: 55.56%

C.J. Stroud Over 11.5 rushing yards (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Last week, Stroud annihilated this rushing prop by going off for 59 yards on eight carries against the New York Jets. It was the sixth time this season that he gained at least 12 rushing yards in a game. 

Overall, Stroud is averaging 15.9 rushing yards per game this year. Three times this season, he has hit the Over on this prop on just one carry. 

The Lions are allowing 23.5 rushing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. Five of the eight quarterbacks they have faced have gained at least 12 yards with their legs. 

Caesars has the Over juiced up to -133 which would give you $7.52 back on a $10 bet. Put an extra $1.57 in your pocket by grabbing the -110 from BetMGM instead.

Best odds: -110 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 52.38%
