Houston Texans (-115) at New York Jets (-105)

The NFL odds for the Texans vs the Jets at Bovada include over 200 ways to play and get in on the action.

Which way do you want to go for this Thursday Night Football matchup that oddsmakers are calling a virtual toss-up?

The New York Jets have been a pretty massive disappointment for their fans so far this season, with QB Aaron Rodgers very likely not leading them to the playoffs as expected. They’re on a 5-game losing streak heading into this game, despite adding Davante Adams to an offense that’s loaded with talent. The Jets have averaged just over 18 points per game, so while NFL bettors might think they’re due to break out at some point, it hasn’t happened yet.

Rodgers is facing a much younger version of himself in Houston Texans’ QB CJ Stroud, who is having a steady season after a massive rookie year. Stroud’s recent woes are partly due to losing his main wide receiver Nico Collins at least until Week 11, but he’s still led the team to a 6-2 record.

Then again, with the Jets having a top-10 pass defense – and with Houston WR Stefon Diggs going down with an injury this past weekend – it could be a tough go in the Meadowlands for the Texans. This is what’s keeping the current spread to just a single point in favor of Houston.

Chicago Bears (-110) at Arizona Cardinals (-110)

Chicago Bears’ rookie QB Caleb Williams lost dramatically to his fellow rookie passer Jayden Williams last weekend, but the Hail Mary that Washington needed to win the game overshadows a bigger issue: the Bears didn’t manage to get to 100+ yards of offense through the first 3 quarters of that game.

They’ll need to find a way to ramp up the O against an Arizona Cardinals team that can move the ball.

Cardinals’ QB Kyler Murray can score independently from anywhere, while rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. racked up 111 yards last weekend to go with tight end Trey McBride’s 124 yards.

Arizona has won three of its last four games, and if Harrison and Murray are clicking, it could make it four out of five.

Either way, fans of Over/Under betting might look at the relatively modest O/U for this Bears-Cardinals game as a tempting over, with Arizona’s talent on offense coupled with the Bears’ own weapons of DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze against a Cards’ defense that ranks dead last in the NFL in defensive success rate.

Get in now and pick from 200 ways to bet on the Chicago-Arizona game.

Indianapolis Colts (+240) at Minnesota Vikings (-290)

Is this the beginning of a split personality we’re seeing from the Minnesota Vikings? They were the class of the NFL for the first 5 weeks of the season, but they’ve lost two straight and have given up over 60 points combined while taking those L’s.

The Indianapolis Colts might be just the right opponent for the Vikings to correct course as they navigate their way towards the playoffs.

The Colts are currently 6.5-point underdogs for a reason.

QB Anthony Richardson is having trouble completing passes, and his leadership of the team might be in question after took himself out of the game last weekend because he “felt tired”. Richardson was 10-32 in passing attempts in that game, and he’s facing a Vikings defense that is in the top 10 in points allowed, along with a defensive coordinator in Brian Flores who is considered to be among the league’s best.

The Colts-Vikings game is full of hundreds of ways to wager right now at Bovada.

Miami Dolphins (+235) at Buffalo Bills (-285)

With Tua Tagovailoa back at quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, the team fared much better last weekend than in previous weeks.

The Dolphins put up over 25 points for the first time all season and lost by a single point to the Cardinals. Tua was the spark for WR Tyreek Hill and RB De’von Achane to put up good numbers, and they could get better as Tua continues to get back in the groove.

But the Buffalo Bills have dominated this AFC East rivalry lately, winning 5 straight games between the two teams.

Buffalo has a stronger team again this season too, with QB Josh Allen now having WR Amari Cooper to go along with RB James Cook and a tough defense that has helped the team register 4 wins of 20+ points this season.

The Bills’ defense allowed Seattle only 32 yards rushing last weekend. If they keep it up, it’ll be a long day for Achane and the Dolphins.

With the moneyline still under -300 and the point spread of less than a touchdown currently, NFL betting fans might consider grabbing the Bills now.

But no matter which way you want to play the NFL odds, you can grab hundreds of props and other bets for the Dolphins-Bills game right now.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+305) at Kansas City Chiefs (-410)

The Kansas City Chiefs are the league’s only undefeated team this season, and last weekend TE Travis Kelce showed signs of life with 90 yards and a touchdown reception to go along with QB Patrick Mahomes’ 260+ yards passing.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, on the other hand, have struggled in their last two games, fueled by the absence of their top receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Even without his two main targets, Bucs’ QB Baker Mayfield managed his third straight 300+ yard passing performance last weekend.

If he can reduce his interceptions—having thrown 8 in the last 3 games—and if Tampa’s talented trio of running backs (Bucky Irving, Rachaad White, and Sean Tucker) can maintain ball control and limit Mahomes’ opportunities, the Bucs might keep the game closer than the current moneyline and 8.5-point spread indicate.

One note of caution for Bucs’ bettors: the Chiefs’ newly signed WR DeAndre Hopkins played 23 snaps in his first game with the team last weekend. If he gets more integrated with Mahomes and the offensive game plan, it could spell trouble for a Tampa defense ranked 29^th in passing yards allowed this season.

There are already over 200 ways to bet on the Bucs-Chiefs Monday Night Football game, so you’ll find all the bets you need.
