Nico Collins OVER 6.5 Receptions (-114)
With the injuries in the Houston Texans wide receiver room, Nico Collins is in for a big day on Christmas. Collins is already an elite pass catcher for the Texans, and with Tank Dell going down last week to a season-ending injury, Collins will have his number called upon even more moving forward. Factor in that Baltimore's secondary has struggled for large portions of the year, and there's some real value for Collins to have a monster day on Wednesday.

Russell Wilson OVER 227.5 Passing Yards (-113)
Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to get a major weapon back on Christmas Day in George Pickens. The former Georgia Bulldog has been a key cog in elevating this passing attack, and that's great news for Wilson and company. In four of the past six games, we've seen quarterbacks throw for more than Wilson's passing prop against the Chiefs. I suspect Pickens returning will open things up in Pittsburgh's run-and-pass games, which should create more offensive success.

Travis Kelce OVER 45.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
It will be difficult for the Kansas City Chiefs to create a ton of offense in this matchup against a Steelers pass rush with a major advantage against a suspect offensive line. When you put those pieces together, getting the football out quickly will be on the agenda for the Chiefs, along with targeting Travis Kelce over the middle. Kelce has recorded at least 45 receiving yards in three of his past five games, and the Steelers have had trouble defending over the middle. Look for a big Christmas performance from Kelce.

Lamar Jackson OVER 45.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens look like a team on a mission down the stretch. The AFC North crown is very much possible for the Ravens, and a big reason for that has been Jackson's elite play down the stretch. The former MVP is famous for using his legs, and with a Houston pass rush that can get to the quarterback at a high clip, we're expecting him to be scrambling a lot on Christmas Day. Jackson is in for a big day on the ground against a Texans squad that's given up points that way to the quarterback position.
