Surprise, surprise – it’s not the expected high-scoring affair between the Lions and Commanders worth attention for touchdown scorers Saturday in the Divisional Round.

NFL Touchdown Predictions for Texans vs. Chiefs: Plus-Money Playoff Picks
Travis Kelce has been the anytime TD GOAT for the Chiefs in the playoffs. As Kelce ages, might this be the year the torch is passed down?
The best touchdown pick using Action PRO TD models Saturday is Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy. Priced at +220, expert projections estimate about 0.5 touchdowns in this scenario, spotlighting Worthy’s explosive potential and the market’s undervaluation of the rookie in such a high-stakes game.
PRO TD Projections Pick: Xavier Worthy TD (+220)
Worthy’s teammate, the seasoned DeAndre Hopkins, offers a captivating “revenge game” narrative against his former team, the Texans. With +310 odds and projections at 0.33 touchdowns, there’s a notable edge of +3.5% to secure here.
PRO TD Projections Pick: DeAndre Hopkins TD (+310)
The most intriguing quarterback proposition comes with Texans QB C.J. Stroud, at hefty +1200 odds.
Despite recognition as a pocket passer, Stroud exhibits a high scramble rate, hinting at his dual-threat capabilities. An alluring 2.3% edge compels a closer look, especially after his impressive season-long rush last week, suggesting he’s primed to leverage his mobility strategically in the postseason.
