Ravens vs Texans anytime touchdown scorer pick: Joe Mixon (-120)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
I’m not thrilled at the -120 price for Joe Mixon to score a touchdown, either. Nonetheless, the Texans find themselves as home underdogs against a Ravens offense that can light up the scoreboard. They’ll look to Joe Mixon in the red zone, especially after Tank Dall is done for the year after a gruesome injury sustained on Saturday against the Chiefs. Mixon is coming off back-to-back subpar games. He failed to net 60 yards on the ground last week on 14 carries. Besides a 20+ yard rush on his 2nd rush attempt, it was not Mixon’s night. The Texans were trailing from the start after a Chiefs touchdown on their opening drive. So, I’d expect the Texans to run Mixon early and often. Mixon’s 11 rushing touchdowns rank him in the top 10 in the NFL.

Ravens vs Texans anytime touchdown scorer pick: Rashod Bateman (+175)
Odds available at Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The sportsbooks have tanked Rashod Bateman’s touchdown price due to his recent performances. He’s scored 4 touchdowns in his last 5 games and leads the wide receiver room in red-zone targets during that span. The +175 price that Bet365 is offering for Bateman to score a touchdown is the main attraction. Every other book is around the +120 range — fine to play there, but the +175 on Bet365 is one I can’t pass up.
