Thursday Night Football (TNF) in Week 12 brings us the Texans vs Bills in a prime-time matchup. Unfortunately for Houston, C.J. Stroud is set to miss another game as he has yet to pass the concussion protocol.
The Texans enter the game with a 5-5 record and need a win to keep pace in the race to the postseason. On the other hand, the Bills are 7-3, but a win would bring them within a game of the Patriots at the top of the AFC East.
Here are a couple of same-game parlays for the TNF game between the Houston Texans and the Buffalo Bills as per FanDuel.
Josh Allen Anytime TD (-125) + James Cook Anytime TD (-115) + Total Points Under 43.5 (-110)
Total Parlay Odds: +1017
Josh Allen has been very successful finding the endzone with his feet off late. In fact, he has 7 rushing touchdowns in his last 4 games, including 3 last week against the Buccaneers.
James Cook is having an exceptional season and is among the best running backs in the NFL this year. Cook has scored 7 touchdowns in the 10 games he has played thus far.
The total points under 43.5 seems to be a good bet, considering the Texans have one of the best defenses in the league. While the Bills are certainly capable of putting up big points, Houston leads the league in fewest points allowed per game (16.3). Additionally, the Texans’ offense has not been as effective this season.

Davis Mills Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (+112) + Woody Marks 70+ Rushing Yards (+118) + Danielle Hunter to record a sack (-112)
Total Parlay Odds: +566
Texans’ backup quarterback Davis Mills has done a decent job starting in place of C.J. Stroud. Mills will once again have to command the offense against the Bills. Mills has thrown 3 touchdowns in the last 2 games that he has started.
When it comes to pass defense, the Bills are second in the league, giving up just under 170 yards per game. However, when it comes to run defense, Buffalo is 31st in the league, allowing a whopping 153 yards per game. Look for the Texans to feed their running backs in this game.
Defensive end Danielle Hunter is the sack leader for the Texans through Week 11. He already has 9 sacks on the year from 10 games and has been in excellent form recently. In the last 2 games, Hunter has recorded 5 sacks.

Here are some of the best player props for this week’s game between the Texans and the Bills as per FanDuel.
Josh Allen has been firing on all cylinders once again this season. He had the game of his life against Tampa Bay last week and has well over 250 passing yards in each of his last three games. However, Houston has one of the best pass defenses in the league and could limit Allen’s ability to have a big game in the air.
James Cook already has 7 touchdowns in 10 games. He is one of the premier goal-scoring threats on the Bills’ offense. Buffalo may look to hand him the ball, especially in the red zone, with Houston possessing a tough pass defense.
With the Texans’ wide receiver room struggling apart from Nico Collins, tight end Dalton Schultz is receiving an increase in targets. In the last 3 games, Schultz has averaged a minimum of 6 receptions while averaging 9 targets per game.
Running back Woody Marks has seen an increase in his rushing attempts of late. In fact, Marks has double-digit carries in his last 5 games, and has even touched the ball in the backfield 16 times on average in the last 2 games. Furthermore, expect the Texans to run the ball more against a poor Bills’ run defense.
