NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes CJ Stroud to throw Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns at home on Sunday
“For Houston, Joe Mixon is banged up with an ankle injury that forced him to miss Week 3’s blowout loss to Minnesota (34-7). With or without Mixon, QB CJ Stroud has to air out.
Last season, Stroud tossed two or more touchdowns in eight out of 15 regular season games and one out of two playoff contests as a rookie. This year, Stroud threw two touchdowns in Week 1 at the Colts, but only two combined passing scores in Weeks 2 and 3 (13.0 PPG).
The Jags defense allowed Josh Allen to throw for four touchdowns, Tua Tagovailoa to toss one, while Deshaun Watson didn’t throw any. Stroud can toss two, especially given the current form of the running backs.”
