- The Green Bay Packers have scored 29 or more points in four of their six games this year, but their projected total is only 24.5 points.
- The Houston Texans are a field-goal underdog, despite posting a 5-1 record on the year so far.
- Bettors can find value in taking the 1st half touchdown odds in what is projected to be a high scoring game (47.5-point over under).
GREEN BAY, Wisc. – On Sunday, the Houston Texans visit Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers as three-point underdogs on the spread. While fans will support their teams on the moneyline regardless of any NFL betting trend, the emphasis on the quarterbacks could add for more betting options.
In the battle between CJ Stroud and Jordan Love, Stroud is given a slightly higher number by NFL betting sites for the amount of completions he’ll have.
NFL Player Props: QB Passing Completions
- CJ Stroud Over 23.5 (-110)
- Jordan Love Over 21.5 (-120)
- CJ Stroud Under 23.5 (-120)
- Jordan Love Under 21.5 (-110)
Over the last eight regular season games, CJ Stroud has been right on this number, completing 23.3 passes for 257 yards, 1.6 TDs, and 0.5 interceptions per game.
Jordan Love is in a similar spot (23 completions averaged over his last three games), but he has surpassed his total in nine of the last 10 regular season games.
With this, a unit bet on Jordan Love player props toward the over could be a wise move to extend one’s profit.
Scoring Props
With the quarterbacks will come touchdowns. But while the Packers are a field goal favorite, shading on the legal sports betting odds shows that it could be a closer contest.
How Many Points Will The Packers Score vs The Texans
- Over 24.5 -110
- Under 24.5 -120
How Many Points Will The Texans Score vs The Packers
- Over 21.5 -120
- Under 21.5 -110
Still, the Packers have scored 29 or more in four of their six games this season. Fade the public, and play the over on Green Bay. As for the Texans, 21.5 can be a little more difficult.
Odds favor the over, but the under has the trends behind it.
Houston has scored over 21.5 in four of six games this year, but the Packers have only allowed two teams to score 20 or more on them.
Either way, expect a few touchdowns (sportsbooks project 5 or 6) meaning a few anytime touchdown odds for the Packers and Texans to hit. Assuming a high-scoring contest – the over under is 47.5 points – smart money would boost their odds by taking the anytime 1st half bet rather than the anytime touchdown wager.
