Los Angeles Chargers

Justin Herbert had a down-year statistically in the regular season, although he did finish with a career-low three interceptions. However, I think there’s value on taking Herbert to throw a pick against Houston. The Texans’ defence recorded the second-most interceptions in the NFL this season (19) and in two career game against Houston, Herbert has been picked off three times.

Keep in mind, running back J.K. Dobbins is dealing with an ankle injury, so L.A. won’t be able to rely heavily on the run-attack. Oh, and two of those Hebert interceptions have come in the last four weeks. I’m banking on another pick on Saturday.

Wild Card Weekend prop: Justin Herbert Over 0.5 interceptions (+105)

Houston Texans

Nico Collins finished the regular season with his second straight 1,000-yard year despite being limited to 12 games because of injury. He’s already emerged as one of the best wideouts in the NFL and I think with the season on the line, C.J. Stroud will rely heavily on him against the Chargers.

Houston really doesn’t have any other reliable pass-catching options, so I love the value of getting plus-money for Over 6.5 receptions. Remember, Collins had five catches for 38 yards and a TD last week despite only playing one drive.
