Let’s assess the anytime touchdown odds for the Chargers at Texans, highlighting my favorite ATTD picks at bet365 Sportsbook.

texans wr nico collins: Nico Collins +140 on Bet365

While the Chargers are favored to advance to the divisional round, their record is a bit fraudulent. In particular, their defense has benefited from only playing a handful of quarterbacks who rank above the NFL average in EPA per dropback. They let up an average of 6.9 yards per pass attempt (YPA) against Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes (twice), Kyler Murray, and Baker Mayfield.

Enter C.J. Stroud, who has thrived versus zone-centric defenses, particularly with Collins. The fourth-year wideout has tallied the second-most yards per route run (YPRR), behind only Mike Evans, against these coverages.

Given that Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell lost for the season, the Los Angeles’ defensive backfield will undoubtedly revolve its game plan around limiting Collins. However, I still expect him to have success against this overrated unit. Consider throwing pizza money on his anytime touchdown odds.

texans wr dionte johnson: Diontae Johnson +600 on Bet365

Earlier in the week, Johnson’s ATTD odds were set at +900. They’re unlikely to reverse course, so bettors have missed out on the best number. Nevertheless, Houston is without a true No. 2 wide receiver, which makes his longshot odds appealing.

Johnson was sparingly utilized in the regular-season finale against the Titans, corralling 2-of-4 targets for 12 yards. His level of involvement in the Wild Card round is unknown, but this uncertainty is already baked into the betting market.

As long as you’re only betting couch change on the chance that Johnson emerges as a threat against the overrated Chargers, he’s worth a look.
