Best Patriots player prop bets vs. Texans
TreVeyon Henderson: 50+ Rushing + Receiving Yards (+140) • bet365 Sportsbook
Houston's elite pass defense will require the Patriots to get creative with their running back duo of Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson. While Stevenson has served as lead back lately, the rookie should have plenty of touches to break free with his explosive speed.
Use this bet365 promo code when betting on Henderson's scrimmage yardage.
Drake Maye: 2+ Passing TDs (+122) • FanDuel Sportsbook / bet365 Sportsbook
As the leader in SumerSports passing EPA by a wide margin, Maye has made a living off having a diverse group of pass-catchers without a true alpha snare (maybe Stefon Diggs, but not like he used to be).
Maye will take what the Texans' elite pass defense gives him and should trip into multiple touchdowns; the Patriots will be arguably the toughest passing challenge Houston has faced.

Best Texans player prop bets vs. Patriots
Woody Marks: 70+ Rushing + Receiving Yards (+102) • FanDuel Sportsbook / DraftKings Sportsbook
Expect the Texans' No. 1 back to generate a diverse amount of work against an improved Patriots run defense (thanks, return of Milton Williams).
Houston will not want CJ Stroud to attempt to take control of this game as long as they can keep Drake Maye off the field, and Marks has emerged as a reliable lead carrier later in the season.

Jayden Higgins: 50+ Receiving Yards (+140) • bet365 Sportsbook
With Nico Collins (concussion) set to be inactive, the rookie will be busier as a complement to Christian Kirk with a full game of a bigger role.
In a more crowded group this year, Higgins accomplished this number three times.
