Best MNF player props & anytime TD scorer bets for Texans vs. Cowboys

Here are our top MNF player props and ATTD scorer bets for Texans vs. Cowboys. 

Joe Mixon first-half ATTD scorer 

If you haven't been paying attention, Dallas is awful against the run. The Cowboys give up 152.1 yards per game on the ground. Only the Panthers allow more. Dallas has also given up 15 rushing TDs in nine games, second most in the league behind Carolina.

Mixon, who should have a field day on MNF, has scored a TD in five straight games. His price as an ATTD scorer was juiced to -175, so we're backing him at plus-money odds to score at any time in the first half.

C.J. Stroud UNDER 238.5 passing yards  

Would it surprise you to know that Stroud has only eclipsed this number in one of his last five games? TSN's Bill Bender notes that Stroud has also "struggled on the road all season with a 58.6-percent completion percentage, six TDs, and three interceptions."

With Micah Parsons back along the Dallas defensive front, Stroud can expect plenty of pressure on MNF. Stroud could benefit from the return of WR Nico Collins (hamstring), but we'll take a wait-and-see approach and go UNDER this total of passing yards.   

Nico Collins ATTD scorer   

Collins led the NFL with 567 receiving yards when he pulled his hamstring in Week 5. He scored three TDs in those five contests. Our colleague Mo Nuwwarah of The Lines is backing Collins to find the end zone on MNF.

Here's Mo: "The stalwart WR no longer has Stefon Diggs (knee) to compete with for targets in the red zone, as the former superstar is out for the year. Instead, Tank Dell has taken the mantle as WR1, but things have gone poorly there. Whereas Collins posted a massive 12.4 yards per target this year, Dell is barely at half of that number (7).

"Overall, it’s safe to say C.J. Stroud will be happy to have Collins back. The big man should receive his requisite attention in the red zone and face a beatable Dallas secondary."
