NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
NBC Sports Betting Analyst Brad Thomas (MrBradThomas) is taking Joe Mixon over 61.5 rushing yards:
“This game should be a dogfight from the beginning to the end. I have a slight lean towards Texans +2.5. However, I would prefer the +3 should it be there. I don’t see this game getting out of hand for the Texans, so the game script should remain neutral. Taking Joe Mixon rushing over is a given. He’s hit this over in both games, and he’s seen a full workload. The Packers are decent against the run, but given the low line and the number of times Mixon will touch the ball, it’s a bet I am taking.”
