Christmas Doubleheader Week 17 Picks | NFL Two-Game Parlay

 We have a Christmas Day doubleheader in the NFL, kicking off with the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the Kansas City Chiefs before the Baltimore Ravens welcome in the Houston Texans. We wanted to give you action for the entire day, so we worked up an ultimate two-game parlay for the action.

Valued at +1100, let’s ride!

Leg 1: Xavier Worthy 4+ Receptions

I’m all in on believing that Xavier Worthy is the Chiefs’ WR1 now that he’s had back-to-back double-digit target games. Even if he doesn’t get that much volume again, he should still see at least in the 6-8 range at worst. We’ll look for him to make four receptions, as he’s done in six straight games leading into Wednesday.

Leg 2: DeAndre Hopkins 25+ Receiving Yards

To keep this simple, DeAndre Hopkins has recorded at least 25 receiving yards in all nine games this season with the Chiefs. What more is there to ask for?

Leg 3: George Pickens 50+ Receiving Yards

George Pickens is expected to return for the Steelers on Christmas, and we can’t envision him being a non-factor, given how much the Steelers have missed him. We’ll look for him to rack up at least 50 receiving yards, as he’s done in six of his last seven games, with the one miss being just a 48-yard outing. At home, on prime time, and against the Chiefs – expect to see a very motivated Pickens take the field.

Leg 4: Jaylen Warren 2+ Receptions

To close out the Chiefs-Steelers side of this two-game parlay, we’ll target Jaylen Warren to make two receptions out of the backfield, as he’s done in 11 of 13 games this season. That’s good enough for me!

Leg 5: Derrick Henry 60+ Rushing Yards

Kicking off the Texans-Ravens side of this two-game parlay, we’ll keep it as simple as possible, touting Derrick Henry to run for at least 60 yards. He’s done this in 14 straight games, and I can’t see a scenario where that doesn’t continue in a potentially high-scoring game on Christmas.

Leg 6: Mark Andrews 25+ Receiving Yards

After an underwhelming start to the season, Mark Andrews has taken off over the past eleven weeks. He’s combined for nine touchdowns and recorded at least 25 receiving yards in nine games. His two misses of the 25-yard mark were just 22 and 24-yard outings, which doesn’t concern us too much. We’ll tout him to record 25 on Christmas without giving it a second thought.

Leg 7: Dalton Schultz 25+ Receiving Yards

While we’re counting on a massive game from Nico Collins through the air with the recent injury to Tank Dell, the props on Collins are priced too high for me. Instead, we’ll look to Dalton Schultz to impact the game as he’s coming off his most productive game of the season, where he was targeted eight times, making five catches for 45 yards and a touchdown. We’re touting him to record 25 yards, which shouldn’t be an issue as the number two receiving threat for CJ Stroud.

Leg 8: CJ Stroud 1+ Passing Touchdown

While the Texans may be thin at the wide receiver position, CJ Stroud should do enough himself to make due for the lack of depth. He still has enough around him, so we’ll expect the minimum by touting him to record at least one passing touchdown, as he’s done in 12 of his last 15 games.
