HOUSTON – Kicking off Monday Night Football in Week 2 is a matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans from NRG Stadium in H-Town.
There is a great QB battle in store for this one between Baker Mayfield and CJ Stroud, which has us looking towards their player props on online sportsbooks. Baker has really found a home in Tampa Bay and has resurged his career, while Stroud is looking to pick things back up after a sophomore year slump.
Stroud Picks Up In Week 2
CJ Stroud Passing Yard Total
- Over 229.5 -114
- Under 229.5 -114
After what was a sluggish Week 1 for the Houston Texans offense, we fully expect CJ Stroud to get things back on track here and cross his passing yard total. This comes based on the matchup against this Bucs secondary that allowed Michael Penix Jr. to throw for 298 yards on 27/42 passing.
This is also a Tampa Bay secondary that allowed the fourth most passing yards per game last season at 243.9 yards, with no notable changes to it going into this season. That said, this is a great spot to take Stroud to pass his yard total.

Too Low Of A Rushing Total For Baker
Baker Mayfield Rushing Yard Total
- Over 16.5 -118
- Under 16.5 -110
NFL online sportsbooks have this line set way too low, considering Mayfield’s ability to escape the pocket and gain positive yards. That is exactly what we saw last week, where he ran for 39 yards on just five carries. He did this while oddsmakers listed him with a 13.5 rushing yard total.
Dating back to last season, Baker has crossed his rushing yard total in six of his last nine outings, including each of his last three as well. As long as his rush yard total is less than 20, we’ll be slamming the over.
