- Joe Mixon has -110 odds to go over 80.5 rushing yards.
- There are -115 odds for Breece Hall to go over 66.5 rushing yards.
NEW YORK – Kicking off Week 9 on Thursday Night Football, the New York Jets will take on the Houston Texans where we’ll see a battle on the ground between two of the leagues best running backs in Breece Hall and Joe Mixon.
With such star power on the ground, USA online sportsbooks have prop odds for both of them and both are in great positions for big games.
Joe Mixon Carrying Heavier Load With Injuries
Joe Mixon Total Rushing Yards
- Over 80.5 -110
- Under 80.5 -110
All signs are pointing towards the over for Mixon’s NFL odds on Thursday Night as he has been rolling over his last three games. Mixon has gone for over 100 rushing yards in his last three outings and even saw 25+ carries in his last two games. In fact, he has gone over in four of five games this season with his only under being when he got injured mid game.
He is averaging nearly five yards per carry on the season and with such high volume rushing attempts, it’s inevitable that he’ll hit this mark week in and week out.
Unfortunately for the Houston Texans, another man’s struggle is another man’s success and that is the case for Mixon with all of the injuries that Houston has suffered. Houston’s top two receivers, Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs are both out with long term injuries meaning the offense will need to rely on Mixon and his explosiveness to stay competitive.

Also, it doesn’t help the Texans offense that the Jets rank second in the league in passing defense meaning they are going to force Houston to rely on their ground game.
Breece Taking Pressure Off Rodgers
Breece Hall Total Rushing Yards
- Over 66.5 -115
- Under 66.5 -115
It is no secret that the Jets have been a complete dumpster fire this season and even more so after trading for Davante Adams. Aaron Rodgers is not the facilitator he once was and the passing game just isn’t there. That leaves Breece Hall to pick up most of the work which he has been doing in recent weeks as he’s gone over his 66.5 total in two of his last three outings.
The Jets are leaning on Hall more in recent weeks as in the two games that he’s gone over have been his first and second most rushing attempts on the year at 16 and 18.
Similarly to Mixon’s situation, the Texans are right up there with New York as one of the toughest passing defenses in the league which will also force New York to run the ball leaving Breece with plenty of opportunities.
