Texans anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Irv Smith Jr., TE ⭐⭐⭐

New customers only. Deposit min. $5. Place first bet of $5+ and win $150 in Bonus Bets (within 72 hours).
Let's root for a pre-Christmas miracle.
The Chiefs have struggled against tight ends all season. Entering Week 16, they've allowed just four touchdowns, but a 77.4% catch rate and a 9.09 yards per target average to the position.
Veteran Dalton Schultz (+390 via Caesars) commands the lion's share of snaps among Houston's position group, but Smith has played 27% and 46% of the snaps in his two games with the Texans. Though he hasn't been targeted to date, the former second-round pick has 10 career touchdowns.
FanDuel is the only one of our top NFL prop betting sites offering odds for this long-shot pick.
Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Travis Kelce, TE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +175 via Caesars | Implied probability: 36.36%
New users only. Must use promo code. Min. $10 deposit. Max. additional winnings $2.5K per token. Tokens expire in 14 days. Void where prohibited. Full terms.
Kelce hasn't scored in five games, but he's garnered 35 targets across his last four while playing between 83 and 90% of the snaps.
Patrick Mahomes appears to be in line to play against the Texans after an injury scare last week. That's good news for the Chiefs even though they've already secured yet another division title. Now it's time to silence the doubters and round into their usual playoff form. Our Mike Spector expects the hosts to handle business in his Texans vs. Chiefs prediction.
Kansas City isn't yet guaranteed home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and lost the tiebreaker to the Buffalo Bills. Expect a less-than-100% Mahomes to keep it simple at home against the NFC South-winning Texans. That means leaning on his veteran tight end in a clear matchup advantage for Kelce.
Make this bet at Caesars' +175 odds for an extra $3.50 in profit on a winning $10 bet vs. the +140 odds from FanDuel.

Steelers vs. Ravens anytime touchdown scorer predictions
Steelers anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Calvin Austin III, WR ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +333 via bet365 | Implied probability: 23.09%
Deposit required. Bonus Bets wager excluded from returns. T&Cs, time limits and exclusions apply. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER
Austin enters Week 16 with four touchdowns on the season. A second straight game without George Pickens available for the Steelers should help the former fourth-round pick score for the first time in three weeks.
Austin played a season-high 81% of the snaps in last week's Steelers loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Though his team was never truly in that game, he caught all five of his targets for 65 yards.
The Steelers are 6.5-point underdogs on Saturday despite leading the AFC North by a game over the Ravens. Pittsburgh can clinch the tiebreaker with a victory. Austin will be heavily involved in that effort as QB Russell Wilson's No. 1 target against a Ravens defense with 17 touchdowns allowed to receivers.
bet365's +333 odds offer nearly $10 in added profit on a winning $10 bet vs. the +265 odds from DraftKings.
Ravens anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Mark Andrews, TE ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +225 via Caesars | Implied probability: 30.77%
Baltimore wide receivers Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor are both questionable for Saturday after not practicing Thursday amid the short week.
Andrews continues to split time with Isaiah Likely but the three-time Pro Bowler has scored in three straight games to bring him up to eight for the season following a slow start. Two more scores would match his career high of 10 set in 2019.
Quite surprisingly, Andrews has never scored a touchdown against these division rivals, but I'm expecting him to be Lamar Jackson's go-to option in what's nearly a must-win home game for Baltimore. A loss would drop the Ravens into a battle with the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos for a wild-card spot.
Mike Spector is backing the Ravens to cover 6.5-point spread with his Steelers vs. Ravens prediction.
