Best Jahmyr Gibbs bets for Lions vs. Texans on Sunday Night Football

Tonight’s Sunday Night Football matchup between the Detroit Lions and Houston Texans has everyone excited. The Texans were underperforming and plagued by injuries on offense. The offensive line is a problem. But Nico Collins and Tank Dell are both on for CJ Stroud tonight, so America’s fire is absolutely fueled. A fully healthy Texans offense against this powerhouse Lions team led by Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown should be electric on paper.

I’ve been following Gibbs’ prop market DraftKings Sportsbook all season long and have actually already supported the prop I like best tonight.

Let’s get Gibby with this.

Jahmyr Gibbs 2+ touchdowns (+400)

When I last supported this pick (Monday Night Football vs. the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5), Gibbs only had two touchdowns this year – one on the ground, one through the air. At that point, his price as an Anytime TD Scorer was -115 DraftKings SportsBookand not worth a direct bet.

Since then, including the Seattle game, Gibbs has scored six touchdowns – all on the ground. But make no mistake: He wasn’t idle in the passing game. He was just so explosive in the running game that he scored touchdowns on his carries before the Lions had to follow a game script in which Gibbs would see a ton of targets.

Check out these stats from NFL Next Gen Stats Insights:

This is simply an advanced metric confirmation of MVP-caliber play at the running back position. In analytical parlance, this means that it was impossible to bet against Gibbs.

Still, as you can see in the screenshot below from his market on DK, he is now -145 to score a single touchdown. Which is strange given David Montgomery’s role as goalkeeper.

I would rather spend the unit on a +400 2+ TD bet. Gibbs has cleared two touchdowns in two games so far. And while the Lions like to spread the ball around their bloated clubhouse filled with incredibly talented prospects, I’m betting on Gibbs scoring two touchdowns against this Texans offense.

As of this morning, the Texans have moved several players on their offensive line to hopefully protect CJ Stroud more efficiently. The Lions added Za’Darius Smith on the sideline, but I’m more inclined to believe it’s a lively duel between two top-performing offenses. The offensive line change was the trick.

Gibbs hits paydirt twice tonight and makes Cris Collinsworth laugh.

Jahmyr Gibbs best bet: 2+ touchdowns (+400)
