Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: James Cook / Over Rush Yards / 49.5 at -115 / 70% / Cook averages 58 rush yards per game in 2025 with Bills’ run-heavy scheme against Texans’ run defense allowing 4.8 yards per carry; Stroud’s absence boosts early-down runs.
Player Prop #2: Josh Allen / Over Passing Yards / 245.5 at -110 / 65% / Allen’s 7.2 CPOE and 68% completion rate exploit Texans’ secondary weakened by injuries, projecting 280+ yards in dome with favorable weather.
Player Prop #3: Nico Collins / Over Receiving Yards / 65.5 at -105 / 60% / Collins leads Texans with 72 yards per game average; Bills’ pass defense allows 6.2 catches to WR1, and backup QB Mills targets him heavily in high-upside spots.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public and money percentages align on the Bills, reflecting sharp consensus post-Stroud injury, making a follow on Buffalo optimal rather than fading. The Bills’ offensive efficiency (+0.18 EPA) overwhelms the Texans’ defense (5.2 yards allowed per play), while both sides’ turnover margins suggest mistakes that keep scoring in check. Overall, expect a defensive battle with under 43.5 points likely due to QB downgrade and key absences on both rosters.
