5) Joe Mixon 80+ Rushing Yards +132
Joe Mixon was traded to the Texans in the offseason, and he's shown why the acquisition may have been one of the more underrated moves that general manager Nick Caserio made. The running back racked up 1,016 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on the season while getting a heavy share of touches out of the backfield. Assuming that Mixon receives the same volume from the regular season, if not more, against the Chargers, there's a high chance the running back finishes the game with 80+ rushing yards.

1) Ladd McConkey 80+ Receiving Yards +102
Ladd McConkey has been the top receiver in his rookie season for the Los Angeles Chargers. The Georgia product has quickly become one of the most reliable playmakers in the team's offense throughout the season, and in a must-win game, it's safe to assume the wideout will be a big part of the Chargers' game plan. With 80+ receiving yards in each of the team's last three games, McConkey could be in line for another big game against an inconsistent Texans secondary.
Spread: Chargers -2.5 | Moneyline: Chargers -154 | Total: 42.5
2) C.J. Stroud 2+ Passing Touchdowns +146
C.J. Stroud's success on Saturday will directly impact the outcome of the game for Houston. In the Wild Card round last season, the quarterback threw for three passing touchdowns. This time around, DeMeco Ryans will likely put his faith in his young quarterback to seize the moment and lead his team to a win at home. In what has the makings to be a close matchup, Stroud's presence in the passing game against a stout Chargers defense will be the key to a Texans win.

3) J.K. Dobbins Any Time Touchdown Scorer +130
J.K. Dobbins has rejuvenated his career in his first season with the Chargers. Rushing for 905 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in only 13 games, the Ohio State product has proven he's the guy to rely on in Los Angeles' backfield. Considering the Chargers' tendency to utilize the rushing attack in the red zone, mixed with Dobbins's ability to break any run-off for a score, the odds of him finding the endzone seem worth taking.
4) Nico Collins Any Time Touchdown Scorer +135
Nico Collins entered the 2024 season as the top target in the Texans loaded wide receiver room. Following injuries to Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell, the need for the wideout to step up is major. The connection between Collins and Stroud will make or break the Texans playoff run, and there's no doubt that the team is aware of it. Whether it's in the first quarter or down the stretch of the second half, it won't be a shock to see the former Michigan standout find his way into the endzone before the game ends.
