November 15, 2024Houston Texans vs. Dallas Cowboys Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions Recap
The Houston Texans secured a commanding 34-10 NFL odds victory over the Dallas Cowboys, powered by Joe Mixon’s three rushing touchdowns and Derek Barnett’s game-changing defensive heroics. The win snapped Houston’s two-game skid and improved their record to 7-4 SU and 5-6 ATS to maintain a two-game lead atop the AFC South standings. Meanwhile, the Cowboys’ fifth straight loss dropped them to 3-7 and extended their home losing streak to 0-5 for the season. It’s insane what has become of “America’s Team” in such a short timeframe, but it was to be expected with Jerry Jones and the front office doing absolutely nothing in the offseason to improve the roster. This won’t be the last time I pick on the Cowboys!
Mixon went HAM for the Texans with 109 rushing yards on 20 carries hitting paydirt three separate times while also being a factor in the passing game with a pair of receptions with his 37-yard snare setting up a field goal. C.J. Stroud passed for 257 yards, avoiding critical mistakes despite an early interception resulting in a mediocre 77.7 QB rating. Nico Collins, returning from injury, made a splash with a 77-yard screen pass that was negated by a penalty but still showcased Houston’s explosive potential. His night finished with 54 yards on four catches. Defensively, Derek Barnett delivered the play of the game in the fourth quarter with the point spread still in doubt, forcing a fumble and returning it 28 yards for a touchdown to seal the win. The Texans’ defense sacked Cooper Rush five times and limited Dallas to one offensive touchdown—a shocking 64-yard strike to KaVontae Turpin. Rush still took advantage of Houston’s beatable secondary finishing with 354 passing yards while enduring heavy pressure and committing two critical giveaways.
Though we went on to cash all three legs of this same-game parlay at Caesars Sportsbook, the football gods made us sweat it out. This was only a 20-10 game midway through the third quarter, and it took that insane strip-sack and subsequent scoop-n-score to get us comfortably ahead of the number early in the fourth quarter. Shockingly, Mixon only managed to exceed his 85.5 rushing yards prop on the Texans final touchdown drive with three-plus minutes remaining. We then had to hold our breath and bank on Houston’s D keeping Dallas out of the end zone on its final drive to cash the under of their 16.5-point team total. Thankfully they did and we closed Week 11 out big winners!
- HOUSTON TEXANS -7.5 (W)
- DALLAS COWBOYS UNDER 16.5 TEAM TOTAL (W)
- JOE MIXON OVER 85.5 RUSHING YARDS (W)
Houston Texans vs. Dallas Cowboys Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions
The AFC South leading Houston Texans will be out to snap a two-game losing streak in the Week 11 installment of Monday Night Football when they get on a bus and head north up to “Jerry World” to tussle with the sinking ship otherwise known as the Dallas Cowboys. DeMeco Ryans’ troops looked to be on the verge of getting back in the win column early on last week against the Detroit Lions, but the team was put on notice about just how good the team from Motown truly is in the second half. As for the Cowboys, the Mike McCarthy farewell tour played one of its last shows in Arlington after “America’s Team” was thoroughly handled by the Philadelphia Eagles en route to dropping a fourth straight both straight up and against the NFL odds.

Houston Texans vs. Dallas Cowboys NFL Same Game Parlay:
The Texans have hit a rough patch over the last month with the team dropping three of their last four matchups since getting out to a pristine 5-1 start (2-4 ATS). The injury bug has played a huge role in the falloff with integral pieces like Nico Collins, Will Anderson, and Stefon Diggs all absent. Even so, Houston still managed to put a positive semblance of itself in tough 24-22 and 26-23 losses to the Packers and Lions, respectively. It even had the Jets on the ropes before things went dramatically sideways in the second half on Halloween night. Though Diggs is done for the year and it’s possible Houston’s pass rush will still be without Anderson Monday night, Collins is expected to return to the huddle. His presence should put a huge jolt into the offense’s passing attack which has floundered in recent weeks with him watching on from the sideline. With Joe Mixon seeing very little resistance running up against a Dallas run defense getting ripped for 152 yards per game (#31) and 4.7 yards per carry (#24), I’m confident the Texans hang a crooked number much like it did at New England when logging their last victory away from NRG.
It’s a damn shame the NFL is unable to flex games for the Monday Night Football telecasts. As much as fans of the Eagles, Giants, and Commanders enjoy watching everything crash and burn in Big D, NFL bettors shouldn’t be forced to take in all the carnage; especially in primetime! With Dak Prescott watching on from the sideline, the Cowboys only mustered 146 yards of total offense against Philadelphia in last week’s 34-6 skunking. Cooper Rush played to a 61.7 QB rating and only threw for 45 yards before being benched for Trey Lance who also failed to move the needle with his four completions amassing a grand total of 21 yards. Let’s all pour one out for CeeDee Lamb’s fantasy supporters who are up Schitt’s Creek. With no running game to fall back on (#31) and what’s already proven to be an impotent passing attack leading the charge, it’s going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better in Arlington. I’m not sure—actually, I’m pretty confident, McCarthy won’t be around for the rebound. Heck, he might not even be around come Tuesday afternoon once this pounding is said and done!
The Cowboys have failed to cover each of their last four games and I fully expect that trend to continue in this one. With the offensively challenged Titans paying Houston a visit next week and the team foaming at the mouth to turn the page on the current losing streak, I don’t foresee the Texans holding anything back to let it be known that’s it’s now the team to beat in the Lone Star State. C.J. Stroud sorely needs to get back on track, and with Collins back as his primary target, I expect him to do just that. Once the early double-digit lead is attained, look for Mixon to get some burn before likely being replaced in garbage time. Before he does, I expect him to satisfy his player prop supporters with 90+ rushing yards and at least one score. Even with the defense a bit banged up, I’d be shocked if Dallas was able to exceed its 16.5-point team total. Here’s to closing the week on a high and cashing all three legs of this same-game parlay at Caesars!
- HOUSTON TEXANS -7.5
- DALLAS COWBOYS UNDER 16.5 TEAM TOTAL
