Anytime Touchdown Scorer Predictions Texans vs. Steelers: NFL Wild Card Weekend TD Picks
I'm backing two wide receivers and a running back in my Texans vs. Steelers anytime touchdown scorer predictions for Monday's wild-card game at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh (8 p.m. ET, ESPN).
The Texans are the 3-point betting favorite, and I expect Houston wide receivers Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins to hit pay dirt. As part of the NFL predictions and wild-card matchups, I predict Pittsburgh's Kenneth Gainwell will punch it in for a second straight game.

💰 Best Texans vs. Steelers anytime touchdown scorer bet: Nico Collins, WR, Texans (+145) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NFL analysis and expert predictions for every playoff game, with odds from our NFL prop betting sites.
The Steelers allowed 30 passing TDs in the regular season, tied for the eighth-most. And while Collins didn't enjoy a successful season in terms of TDs, with just six, he finished the season with two in the final three games.
Pittsburgh struggled against wide receivers during the regular season, allowing one per game. That unit conceded three TDs to Baltimore wide receivers, two of which to Zay Flowers, in Week 18. I also backed Collins to go over his receiving yards total in my Texans vs. Steelers player props.

Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Steelers (+210) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm a massive fan of the dual threat Gainwell offers, especially against a Texans defense that keeps most everything in front. He scored three TDs in the final five games and two in the last three. Gainwell provides Rodgers with quick outlets on passing options and screens, which the Steelers will likely use in the red zone.
He's also an option on the ground, although to a lesser extent. Of the best sports betting sites, FanDuel offers the best price.

Jayden Higgins, WR, Texans (+400) ⭐⭐⭐
Two of Higgins' six TDs this season came in the final two games of the season. The same reasons apply to Higgins as for Collins, with the Steelers struggling against wide receivers.
While he won't see nearly as much action as Collins, his large frame (6-foot-4) should cause problems for Pittsburgh's secondary. A winning $10 bet would profit $40.
Our Corey Scott loves the odds he's receiving for Higgins in his first touchdown scorer predictions for Texans vs. Steelers.
