On Sunday Night Football, the Detroit Lions and Houston Texans will meet in a key inter-conference matchup. Both teams are looking for a significant win for their playoff aspirations, heightening the excitement around making NFL betting picks for this game. Here, we put together a Lions vs Texans Same Game Parlay that is worth taking a flier on as both of these teams look for a statement win in Houston.
Lions vs Texans Same Game Parlay
- Lions -3.5
- David Montgomery Over 58.5 Rushing Yards
- CJ Stroud Under 226.5 Passing Yards
- +395 ($10 to win $39.50)
Leg #1: Lions -3.5 over Texans
The first leg of our Lions vs Texans Same Game Parlay is for the Detroit Lions to cover the spread as 3.5-point favorites on the road against Houston. The Lions continue to look more and more impressive with each passing week this season. Look for that to continue this week against a Texans team that is so banged up on offense coming into this contest.
Leg #2: David Montgomery Over 58.5 Rushing Yards
Next up, we will take David Montgomery to go over 58.5 rushing yards for the Lions in this matchup. Montgomery is coming off of a game where he ran the ball 17 times for 73 yards for the Lions in their win over the Green Bay Packers last week. We expect him to put up some impressive numbers again in this game to help the Lions get a victory on the road for the second straight game.
From a game script perspective, Montgomery should be active on the ground for much of the second half of this one. We expect Detroit to be playing with the lead in this contest, which will mean that they emphasize running the football in the fourth quarter to try and run out the clock. Look for Montgomery to be especially impactful in the second half to help his team lock this one up.
Leg #3: CJ Stroud Under 226.5 Passing Yards
Our final leg in this Lions vs Texans SGP is for Texans quarterback CJ Stroud to stay under 226.5 passing yards. Stroud is a phenomenal talent but he is being done no favors by the absences in his receiving corps. With Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs out for this game, Stroud’s recent struggles will continue, as the Texans are likely to try and keep the ball on the ground with Joe Mixon as much as possible to make up for their lack of healthy top-tier receivers.
