Nico Collins cements his status as the man in Houston in this game. He’s been lights out for the Texans this season — scoring seven touchdowns and crossing 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career — but it’s essential that he comes up big on Saturday.
We saw C.J. Stroud look great in his return to action last week, which is great news because the rookie signal-caller has great chemistry with Collins. With Noah Brown or Tank Dell unavailable, plus Roberts Woods listed as questionable, the Texans are going to need Collins to do some heavy lifting.
In his last two games, Collins has caught 11-of-14 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown. To put it simply, he’s Houston’s best pass-catcher and most dangerous skill player.
Pick: Nico Collins Anytime Touchdown (+130)

When you think of Colts pass-catchers, you don’t really think of Kylen Granson, but I love his odds to go over 22.5 receiving yards. While it’s a number he’s only hit five times this season, he has a good matchup against Houston.
The Texans have given up 983 yards to TEs, the fourth-highest mark in the NFL. Over the last two weeks, we’ve seen Granson get a combined 10 targets — if he gets three or four catches, you’d expect him to cover the line quite easily.
Pick: Kylen Granson Over 22.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

We’re backing another tight end here with Dalton Schultz, who you can grab at plus money for over 4.5 receptions.
Since returning from injury in Week 15, he’s notched 14 catches on 20 targets — but it’s worth noting that eight of those receptions came in one game.
As I mentioned above, the Texans are without Noah Brown, Tank Dell and possibly Robert Woods for this game. That is likely going to lead to an increase in work for John Metchie III and other wideouts, but also for Schultz, who will need to step up if the Texans are going to get over the line.
Pick: Dalton Schultz Over 4.5 Receptions (+108)

Kicking points are always risky, but one thing we can all agree on is that this is going to be a tense matchup given what’s on the line. Matt Gay’s kicking points line sits at 6.5 and we’re taking the over.
There have only been five games all season in which the Colts haven’t had at least two field-goal attempts, and Gay has nailed 30-of-37 attempts overall, averaging 1.88 per game. He’s also scored an extra point in all but one game — Week 14, when he missed his one attempt.
Given the ramifications and the tense nature this game could be played, Gay has a good shot at reaching seven points.
Pick: Matt Gay Over 6.5 Kicking Points (-135)
