Need some extra excitement this NFL Monday for Cowboys versus Texans? We’ve got the lines to watch.*
Joe Mixon 100+ rushing yards & Texans to win +147
The Texans are already 7 point favorites going into this game, and Mixon has a favorable matchup. The Cowboys heading into Week 11, are the second worst run defense in the league, allowing over 150 rush yards per game. Mixon has surpassed 100 yards in all but 2 games this season, and will surely be looking to rebound after one of those games being just last week.
Cooper Rush under 33.5 pass attempts -130
Cooper Rush and the Dallas Cowboys have struggled since Dak Prescott went out. If they plan on being competitive, they can’t be letting Cooper Rush fling passes all game. They need some time of possession, and they need to play conservatively. Even in a blowout loss last week, Cooper only had 23 attempts. The Texans also have the 2nd rank pass defense, so the Cowboys may want to hold onto the ball.
Dallas Cowboys over 1.5 field goals -107
In 9 games, the Cowboys have made 22 field goals. They are also playing QB Cooper Rush, who struggles to move the ball as well as Dak. Points will likely be at a premium for Dallas, and they may be looking to take the points in most situations. They already average over 1.5 a game, combined with a need for points under Cooper Rush, we could see a few Dallas field goals.
