The Houston Texans are driving excessive after an explosive victory in opposition to the Los Angeles Chargers that has despatched shockwaves all through the league. However…hazard looms within the horizon. A crimson hue bakes into the sky because the morning approaches. And, you understand what they are saying: crimson sky within the morning, sailor’s take warning!
Sure, the eve of Houston’s divisional spherical matchup in opposition to the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs is right here. This tilt might be nice drama for a plethora of causes: a 2019 divisional spherical rematch, a Justin Reid revenge sport, and even Houston’s mere presence within the Divisional Spherical after a tough end to the common season.
And but, right here they’re. For these in search of alternatives to capitalize on a all of the sudden lethal Texans staff, FanDuel’s Identical Recreation Parlay presents bets on all video games within the NFL Playoffs.
Check out this Identical Recreation Parlay:
This parlay would win $587.49 on a $10 guess (+5874).
Much like Kenneth L.’s parlay final week, I like the chance for Texans large receiver Nico Collins to attain two or extra touchdowns tomorrow. I do know some may even see this as unlikely in opposition to Kansas Metropolis’s vaunted protection, however they really solely have two defensive backs with a PFF protection grade over 75: Trent McDuffie and Justin Reid. They’re nonetheless a really proficient group, however there’s an simple upside to a giant, lanky receiver like Nico Collins attacking a Chiefs protection with a pair holes of their backfield.
After all, for Collins to have a number of touchdowns, that suggests that Stroud will most likely be throwing the ball lots. The Chiefs even have a high ten dashing protection, that means it’s much more probably Stroud might be throwing. Taking him at 275+ move yards is a bit wealthy contemplating the season he has had (solely three different video games the place he surpassed 275+ passing yards this yr), however it’s a complete he might have to achieve if Houston had been to win this sport.
Right here’s the best a part of the parlay: Travis Kelce +70 yards. I do know he’s a bit slower than only a couple years in the past, however Mahomes goes to be pressure feeding the ball to him as he shortly realizes the laborious day in retailer for his favourite large receivers. With Derek Stingley, Kamari Lassiter, and Eric Murray are all enjoying like All-Execs, Mahomes might be challenged to maintain the ball shut and contained in the numbers; proper in the direction of his tight finish. No matter the place he’s on the sector, I feel Kelce will move up 70 yards, not less than for Taylor Swift.
It takes a little bit of gumption to consider in a parlay like this, however we’d as effectively exit with a bang! It might simply be recency bias, however I anticipate to see a variety of scoring on each side. The defenses could also be nice, however I feel the quarterbacks will take middle stage on this sport. Victory can be even sweeter contemplating how shut Houston was to defeating Kansas Metropolis in 2019 divisional spherical. I nonetheless have uncooked feelings from that day, and I nonetheless have feelings about Justin Reid leaving Houston for a cope with the devi-err, I imply, the Chiefs! The Texans can have the world stacked in opposition to them on Saturday, however they flourish when thought-about underdogs – would possibly as effectively reap the benefits of that on FanDuel!
GO TEXANS!!!!
