Texans vs Jets NFL Week 9 TNF Predictions & Picks (10/31)

The odds for tonight’s TNF clash have caught NFL bettors off guard. After all, the Texans boast four more wins than the Jets yet it’s the latter who’s the 2-point favorite heading into the showdown at MetLife Stadium.

The Jets certainly haven’t looked like favorites lately, losing their fifth straight outing in the form of a 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. New York was just moments away from ending its losing streak until New England running back Rhamondre Stevenson scored the game-winning touchdown with 22 seconds remaining in the game.

Meanwhile, the Texans are coming off a hard-fought 23-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 25 passes for 285 yards and a touchdown while RB Joe Mixon tallied 102 rushing yards and a score on 25 carries, helping Houston to its fourth win in five outings.

The Texans haven’t had much recent luck against the Jets, though, losing seven of the last 10 matchups between these AFC teams. They last met in Week 14 of the 2023 campaign, ending in a 30-6 blowout win for New York at home.

Will the Texans get revenge for last year’s loss to the Jets? 

Winning again might not be as easy for the Jets this time around. The Texans have the offensive edge in this matchup, averaging 23.5 points (14th) and 351.4 total yards (T-9th) per game compared to the Jets, who average 18.8 (25th) and 310.6 (24th), respectively.

Having said that, it’ll be interesting to see how the Texans’ attack performs without WR Stefon Diggs, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear last week. The good news for Houston is that its offense is deep, so look for the likes of Tank Dell, Dalton Schultz, and Robert Woods to step up in Diggs’ absence.

In terms of defense, these teams are evenly matched. The Texans allow the 15th-fewest points and second-fewest yards per game while the Jets rank T-1th and fourth, respectively. It’s worth noting though that New York has surrendered an average of 28.3 PPG in its last three games, which ranks seventh-worst in the NFL during that stretch.

Will the Jets be able to solve the Texans’ defense tonight? 

We’re going to go against the oddsmakers tonight by taking the Texans to win on TNF. Houston has been the better team throughout the season and should be able to handle a New York team that owns a minus-7.0 average scoring margin amid its five-game losing streak. As long as the Texans’ keep upping the pressure on defense, this game is theirs to lose.

With that in mind, taking the Texans at plus-money on the moneyline is an absolute no-brainer this evening.

Best Texans vs Jets NFL Week 9 TNF Player Prop

With a lot of points projected for Thursday Night Football, I’m going with a Davante Adams anytime touchdown (+129) for the best Texans vs. Jets NFL Week 9 prop bet.

Adams’ Jets tenure has been off to a relatively slow start as he only recorded seven catches for 84 yards in his first two outings. At the same time, he was targeted a whopping 15 times in those contests, meaning it’s only a matter of time before he breaks out and that could happen as early as this week.

After all, the Texans have allowed the 14th-most receiving yards and second-most touchdowns to wideouts this season. That’s fairly good news for Adams, who’s amassed 308 yards and two TDs on 22 catches in three career meetings against Houston.

As long as Aaron Rodgers keeps looking his way, Adams will be a threat to score tonight.
