NFL Wild Card Saturday Double Feature | NFL Two-Game Parlay

We have an NFL doubleheader set for Saturday to kick off the playoffs, beginning as the Houston Texans will host the Houston Texans before the Baltimore Ravens host the Pittsburgh Steelers. We put together a two-game parlay covering all the action.

Valued at +1000, let’s ride!

Leg 1: Ravens ML

Let’s be real: The Ravens aren’t losing this game. This is less about the Ravens’ success and more about how much the Steelers have fallen apart over the past month. Russell Wilson has stunk, the offense can’t move the ball, and the defense is leaking oil. This game shouldn’t be close, but we won’t touch the spread to play it safe.

Legs 2 & 3: Derrick Henry TD & 90+ Rushing Yards

The Ravens will look to keep Saturday’s game script as simple as possible by trusting Derrick Henry on the ground. Leading into Saturday, he’s averaged 149 yards across his last three games, ending the season with a two-touchdown outing in Week 18. If he gets the 20 touches, 90 yards and a touchdown should be attainable.

Leg 4: George Pickens 3+ Receptions

The Steelers will need a miracle to win this game, including chucking many balls up to George Pickens and hoping he can make a play by himself. He had a notably lousy Week 18 game full of drops and frustration, but I expect him to collect himself and be a contributor on Saturday. I don’t trust Wilson enough to get him the ball often for a huge game, but he should make three catches. He’s made three catches in 12 of his 14 games this season, including a season-high eight catches against the Ravens.

Leg 5: JK Dobbins 50+ Rushing Yards

JK Dobbins returned from injury for the season’s final two games, and the Chargers weren’t afraid to use him. He combined for 37 carries across both games, averaging nearly 70 yards per game. The Chargers want to be a run-first team, and I don’t worry about their ability to run all over this Texans’ team, given how they’ve looked in recent weeks. I just saw Derrick Henry run for 147 yards against them on Christmas, so expecting 50 yards out of Dobbins when he is a lock to see at least 15 touches isn’t too much to ask.

Leg 6: Quentin Johnston 40+ Receiving Yards

Ladd McConkey has stolen many headlines for his emergence as a rookie, but I’ve found the revitalization of Quentin Johnston to be equally as impressive. After being labeled as a massive bust after a disappointing rookie season, Johnston has turned things around this season, culminating in Week 18 when he made 13 catches for 186 yards. That was an outing no one saw coming, and something I don’t think will vanish entering the postseason. We won’t expect 13 catches again, but he should see enough volume while being a viable enough deep threat to get us 40 yards, as he’s done in four of his last five games.

Leg 7: Dalton Schultz 25+ Receiving Yards

If the Chargers play up their potential, the Texans don’t belong on the same field as them, given how both teams have looked heading into the playoffs. However, for the Texans, Nico Collins can be a game-wrecker, but I have a ton of confidence in the Chargers’ defensive scheme that they’ll find a way to limit his production. His props are so juiced that I want no parts of him in this parlay. On the contrary, I’ll look for CJ Stroud to try and spread the ball around, and Dalton Schultz will benefit from that. He’s recorded at least 25 yards in 10 of his last 14 games, which is good enough for me thinking about all the attention that will be paid to Collins. Let’s ride!
