The Houston Texans will host the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football in Week 12, and kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. With Joe Mixon battling an injury and Nick Chubb struggling to produce results earlier in the season, rookie Woody Marks has become the favored running back in Houston, and it's a name worth noting if you're making any Texans vs. Bills anytime touchdown scorer picks. The Bills are 31st in the NFL in run defense and have allowed more rushing touchdowns (17) than any team in the league, but the NFL anytime TD scorer odds still list Marks as high as +125 to get into the end zone, which is why he's one of our top TD picks for Thursday.

Woody Marks, Texans (+125, bet365)

Marks was a fourth-round pick in last year's draft after playing collegiately at Mississippi State and USC, and his role has been gradually expanding throughout the season. He was a distant second to Chubb on the depth chart early in the year, worked his way into a timeshare after a few weeks, and has recently surged ahead of the veteran. In the last two games, he's out-touched Chubb 35-9 and he's scored four touchdowns in his last seven games while Chubb has scored once during that span. The model predicts that Marks scores 0.61 touchdowns on average, while these odds imply a 44.4% chance to score. Use the latest bet365 bonus code to find this price and get $150 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager win or lose.

Gabe Davis, Bills (+425, DraftKings)

Davis refamiliarized himself with the fans in Buffalo last week with three catches for 40 yards in his season debut against the Buccaneers. He had 27 receiving touchdowns in four seasons with the Bills before spending one season in Jacksonville last year. After returning to the Bills this offseason, Davis began the year on injured reserve but played 41.1% of the offensive snaps in last week's 44-32 win. He's familiar to Allen, and he could be in line for more snaps this week, which is why the model predicts that he scores 0.27 touchdowns on average, while the odds imply a 19.1% chance to score. Get $200 in bonus bets if your first $5 wager wins and three months free NBA League Pass.

Jayden Higgins, Texans (+500, FanDuel)

The second-round pick out of Iowa State has 23 catches for 256 yards and three touchdowns over his first 10 games. However, his recent usage is worth noting, as he's been targeted seven times or more in three of Houston's last four games. He's caught touchdown passes from C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills during that span, so it appears as if there's generally more trust in the rookie at this stage as opposed to a rapport with one or the other. The model predicts that he scores 0.34 touchdowns on average, while these odds imply a 16.7% chance to score. Use the latest FanDuel promo code to find this price and get $150 in bonus bets if your first $5 wager wins.
