Chiefs vs Texans Same Game Parlay for NFL Divisional Round, January 18

Our NFL game predictions have been consistently successful this season, guiding our audience to significant profits. We’re here and ready to continue this momentum with the AFC Divisional Round clash between the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.

Houston is coming into this matchup off a massive upset at home over the Chargers. Few predicted that the Texans would take down Los Angeles in the opening round due to their long list of injuries on offense, but Houston took care of business.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs entered 2024 as the Super Bowl favorite led by Patrick Mahomes and are second in Super Bowl odds as they begin their journey in search of a record-setting third consecutive Super Bowl.

I have meticulously reviewed all the NFL betting lines and have assembled a three-leg parlay. While you could certainly do a ton of your own research, the beauty is that we’ve already done that legwork for you.

Chiefs vs Texans Parlay Picks: Props, TD Scorer and ML

1. Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy Over 4½ Receptions (-136)

The first NFL parlay pick today will be in the form of a prop wager on Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy. The 2024 rookie class of wide receivers has a chance to go down as the best in history. In the 2024 NFL Draft, seven wide receivers were drafted in the first round!

Among them was the man who set the record with the fastest 40-yard dash time in NFL Combine history at 4.21 seconds. His exceptional speed is a key factor in the Chiefs’ offensive strategy, and the team selected him with the No. 28 overall pick to enhance their deep-ball threat.

However, with a season-ending injury to Rashee Rice early in the year and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown missing the majority of the season, Worthy took on a more prominent role than expected. Brown has since returned and the Chiefs traded for DeAndre Hopkins, but it has been Worthy as the focal point among Chiefs receivers.

At 5-foot-11 and 169 pounds, it’s challenging to see Worthy as an elite target-getter, but his separation is elite. The Chiefs call screen plays among the highest rate in the league thanks to Andy Reid. Screens are an easy way to see his reception total climb.

Worthy had at least five receptions in five straight games to close out the regular season. Bet on his total receptions at BetUS Sportsbook.

2. Texans TE Dalton Schultz Anytime TD (+325)

The second NFL expert pick for our parlay will be for Texans veteran tight end Dalton Schultz to score a touchdown. Schultz has been a disappointment this season. With the addition of Stefon Diggs in the passing game, he took a back seat early on this season. However, the Texans have since lost Diggs and Tank Dell to season-ending injuries. The door is cracked slightly open for Schultz to make an impact this weekend

Last week, the Texans also lost backup tight end Cade Stover. They released Diontae Johnson after the game, which has narrowed down the pass catching options even further. Kansas City allowed the third-most receptions and most yards to opposing tight ends, per NFL betting trends. I expect Schultz to show up and find paydirt.

Parlay Pick: Dalton Schultz Anytime Touchdown (+325)

3. Kansas City Chiefs Moneyline (-500)

The final bet to include in this NFL same game parlay will be for the Chiefs on the moneyline. The Chiefs earned the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. This will play a major role for Kansas City in this matchup

The weather forecast at Arrowhead Stadium is predicted to have temperatures in the low 20s. This is significant because you may recall that last season’s Chiefs Wild Card game against the Dolphins had temperatures below zero. Kansas City made easy work of the fair-weather Dolphins 26-7 in that win and the Texans will likely suffer a similar fate.

C.J. Stroud has struggled outdoors in his first two NFL seasons, per Texans vs Chiefs stats. He is just 5-6 straight-up and has averaged a minuscule 6.6 yards per attempt outside of a dome. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are 6-0 in six consecutive opening-round playoff games at home with Patrick Mahomes.

My last NFL parlay pick today is to ride with the Chiefs to win.

Parlay Pick: Chiefs (-500) to win
