1. RB Joe Mixon OVER 81.5 Rushing Yards (-113)

• Mixon is averaging 100.6 rushing yards per game this season, which is third-best in the NFL.
• He has topped his 81.5 rushing yards prop in three straight games and four of his past five — all 100+ yard efforts.
• Mixon has logged 25 carries in each of the past two weeks. Another heavy workload is likely with the Texans missing star wideouts Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (ACL/out for the season). 
• The Jets rank middle of the pack in run defense (17th), allowing 125.8 yards per game.

2. DE Will Anderson Jr. to Record a Sack (-114)

• Anderson ranks third in the NFL this season with 7.5 sacks.
• He has recorded at least one sack in three straight games, racking up 5.0 over that stretch.
• The Jets’ offensive line has been up and down this year, not to mention quarterback Aaron Rodgers’s limited mobility. Rodgers is dealing with several nagging injuries.
