Buccaneers vs. Texans NFL Player Props, Odds: Picks & Predictions
After a disappointing game on the road in Week 8, rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud is back at home with the Houston Texans. We anticipate a strong comeback in our Week 9 player prop predictions for the Buccaneers vs. Texans matchup, taking advantage of the best NFL odds.
With first-year head coach DeMeco Ryans at the helm, the Houston Texans have demonstrated potential this season and could reach a .500 record with a win on Sunday. On the other hand, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have suffered a three-game losing streak but could also even their record at .500 with a victory.
Both teams are competing for a wild-card spot this season, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers having an edge thanks to wide receiver Mike Evans. Evans is on track to reach his 10th consecutive season with over 1,000 receiving yards, showcasing his consistent performance since joining the NFL. He has been a valuable asset for the Buccaneers team.
Here are our top player props for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Houston Texans NFL game in Week 9, along with our predictions and best bets. Odds are provided by our preferred NFL betting sites, and confidence levels are rated on a 1-to-5-star scale.
Buccaneers vs. Texans NFL player props: Week 9
Mike Evans anytime touchdown scorer (+170 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mike Evans has scored a touchdown in all but two games for the Buccaneers this season, with four touchdowns coming against press coverage, the second-most in the league. While Evans has surpassed the 53.5 receiving yards total in four games this year, the Texans have a strong pass defense allowing only 236.1 passing yards per game, ranking among the top ten in the league. Considering this, I would trust Baker Mayfield’s top target to score a touchdown rather than betting on Evans to exceed his receiving yards total in this matchup.

C.J. Stroud Over 236.5 passing yards (-114 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐
The Buccaneers rank fifth from the bottom in passing defense in the league, giving up an average of 256 yards per game. Last week, C.J. Stroud threw for just 140 yards, his lowest in seven NFL games and his second consecutive game with less than 200 passing yards. However, in his previous games, Stroud had surpassed this number each time. He currently averages 257.1 passing yards per game this season, which is significantly higher than what is expected in this upcoming matchup.
Chase McLaughlin Over 1.5 field goals (+118 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐
This game features two evenly matched 3-4 teams, making it likely to be a close matchup. Both teams will be eager to score points to gain an edge over their opponent. The game being played indoors favors kickers, such as Chase McLaughlin who has only missed field goals in two games this season and has successfully made three kicks from 50+ yards. On the other hand, Baker Mayfield has been sacked three times in each of his last two games. If the sacks occur deep in Texans territory, it could impact the team’s decision to go for a touchdown or settle for a field goal.
