The Texans are the biggest favorites of the slate and Collins is in good form with two TDs last week and four red zone targets in his past three games.

Nico Collins has been unstoppable over the last two months. He’s racked up 662 receiving yards in his past seven contests – at a 94.6 YPG clip – and he turned three catches into 85 yards and two touchdowns last weekend. He’s already clinched his third straight 1,000-yard season, and he’s blown past this O/U number in six of his last seven games.

There’s plenty of uncertainty in the Houston backfield, but this sets up as a game the Texans could control from start to finish. In the passing game, the volume is fairly concentrated, with Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz standing out as the primary options. Schultz led the team with nine targets last week and turned them into an 8/76/1 line. Since C.J. Stroud’s return, Schultz has seen 21 targets for 153 yards and a touchdown, along with three looks from inside the five-yard line. That kind of usage makes the price appealing in this matchup, and I’d play it up to +190.

The leading projections forecast the Texans to be the 2nd-quickest paced defense in the league (context-neutralized) at the present time, causing opposing offenses to average 27.24 seconds per play.. The air attacks of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) ought to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (as in zero wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may suffer.
