Best Betting Promos and Props for Texans vs. Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans are just hours away from kicking off the 2020 football season. While I’ve already previewed the game and made Thursday night football picks against the spread and total, there are still plenty of NFL player props and promotions to take advantage of across the sports betting industry ahead of this season’s inaugural Thursday Night Football game.
Let’s start with the free money.

Thursday Night Football Betting Promos
$10 for Every Mahomes Touchdown at FOX Bet
How many touchdowns can the Super Bowl MVP throw Thursday night? Hopefully a lot if you’re placing wagers at FOX Bet, where you get $10 for every Mahomes touchdown regardless of the team you bet on! This wager promo is probably best correlated with a bet on the Chiefs, but if you think it’s going to be a high-scoring game, $10 on Texans +9.5 is perfectly reasonable too.
The last time these two teams played, Mahomes threw FIVE touchdown passes. If he matches that performance Thursday, a $10 bet will pay up to 6x!

$10 for Every Touchdown Your Team Scores at PointsBet
You can get a similar deal at PointsBet. All you have to do is place a $25 wager against the spread on the Chiefs or Texans, and you get $10 for every touchdown your team scores.
Mahomes threw five touchdown passes in his divisional round clash with Deshaun Watson but the Chiefs found the end zone a total of seven times. If they have a similar performance to kick off the football season, a $25 bet at PointsBet will pay nearly $100.

Best Prop Picks for Texans vs. Chiefs
You know where to sign up, now let’s look at the best Thursday night football props for Texans vs. Chiefs.
Mahomes & Watson Passing Yards (Monkey Knife Fight)
Speaking of Monkey Knife Fight, let’s start there. One of the best strategies when playing at Monkey Knife Fight, and for picking props in general, is to find correlated plays, i.e., two or more picks that are related in such a way that if one succeeds, the odds of the other pick increases as well.
In this case, we can pick Mahomes to throw for MORE than 319.5 Passing Yards AND Watson to throw for MORE than 280.5 yards for 3X our buy-in at Monkey Knife Fight. These are correlated because if either quarterback is throwing for a lot of yards, then the other likely to as well. The same could be said if you pick both quarterbacks to throw for LESS than their point total, however, here’s why I like stacking the Over.
For one, you already know I think this will be a high scoring affair you read the Thursday Night Football betting preview. A lot of touchdowns means a lot of yards. The last time Mahomes and Watson squared off they threw combined for over 700 passing yards, 321 and 388, respectively. Additionally, I expect the unprecedented offseason and the fact that Arrowhead Stadium will be operating at a limited capacity to aid the offenses rather than the defenses.
Mahomes 300 Passing Yards +200 (Boosted at BetMGM)
We have a nice boost at BetMGM. No need in explaining why there’s value. Sign up at BetMGM and hope Mahomes throws for over the 300-yard mark.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire Over 24.5 Receiving Yards (PointsBet)
Andy Reid and the Chiefs front office used their first pick in the draft to take Clyde Edwards-Helaire, a running back from LSU who put his knack for running routes and making catches on display during the Tigers’ National Championship run. With Lesean McCoy gone and Super Bowl star Darren Williams opting out this season, I expect the Chiefs to show off their first-round draft pick right out of the gates.
Mecole Hardman Over 22.5 Receiving Yards (William Hill)
Before I touch on why you want to bet on Mecole Hardman Over 22.5 yards, the first thing you need to do is sign up at William Hill using the promo code GRINDERS150. Doing so will give you $310 to bet with instantly with a $150 first-time deposit.
As for the bet itself, this is the one of the best prop values you’ll find for Thursday Night Football. Hardman’s prop is only 22.5 receiving yards at William Hill but is closer to 40 yards at both DraftKings and FOX Bet. All signs point toward the Chiefs expanding Hardman’s role in the offense. Moreover, both Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins have recently missed practices due to minor injuries. I think the Chiefs will be careful with Watkins early in the season, which should give Hardman more than enough opportunity for 23+ receiving yards Thursday night.
