Anytime Touchdown Scorer Predictions Texans vs. Patriots: NFL Divisional Round TD Picks
My best Texans vs. Patriots anytime touchdown scorer predictions for Sunday’s 3 p.m. ET (ESPN/ABC) NFL Divisional Round game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., focus on Hunter Henry, Jayden Higgins, and the Texans’ defense. The Patriots are favored by 3.
The Texans allowed just 17.4 points per game this season, but they struggled against tight ends. Meanwhile, I expect Higgins to pick up the slack in the absence of Nico Collins, while the Texans’ defense continues to wreak havoc.

💰 Best Texans vs. Patriots anytime touchdown scorer bet: Hunter Henry, TE, Patriots (+190) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NFL analysis and expert predictions for every playoff game, with odds from our NFL prop betting sites.
If the NFL’s second-ranked scoring defense has any flaws, it’s covering tight ends. The Texans have allowed eight touchdowns to the position, which is great news for Henry, who leads the Patriots with seven receiving touchdowns.
Henry has scored in three of his last four games, including last week against the Chargers. Henry is second on the team with 60 receptions, 768 yards, and 87 targets, and it’s safe to assume he’ll get plenty of looks in a deceivingly solid matchup.

Jayden Higgins, WR, Texans (+340) ⭐⭐⭐
With Collins out, there’s going to be more opportunities for other Texans’ receivers in this game. Higgins has scored in two of his last three games, and he caught three passes for 39 yards last week, his most receptions since Week 14.
Higgins is averaging 12.8 yards per reception, and he is tied for the team lead with six touchdown receptions. That’s three more than any other active Texans’ receiver has. He also has the second-most receptions, yards, and targets of any active Texans.
Houston Defense (+800) ⭐⭐
The Texans’ defense has scored six touchdowns this season, including two last week against the Steelers. Four of those six touchdowns were scored off fumbles, which could be trouble for a Patriots offense that was tied for the 14th-most fumbles during the regular season (8).
While Drake Maye only threw eight interceptions in the regular season, he may run into trouble against a defense that picked off 19 passes, tied for the third-most during the regular season. Including the postseason, the Texans have 31 takeaways, the third-most in the league.
