Chargers vs. Texans Parlay Picks & Predictions: SGP Odds

The Houston Texans will look to advance to the divisional round for the second consecutive season by defeating the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday afternoon.
Wild Card Weekend kicks off on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET (CBS/Paramount+) in Houston. With Los Angeles favored by three on the road, what are the best Chargers vs. Texans parlay picks?
C.J. Stroud and the Texans will have their work cut out for them against the best-scoring defense in football, and our NFL playoff bracket predictions don't expect them to have much success.
Will Stroud be able to find a weakness in the Chargers’ secondary to keep up with Justin Herbert, or is this a game Los Angeles is destined to dominate? We dive into all of that as part of our NFL Wild Card Weekend predictions.

Texans Under 20.5 points (-135) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Texans finished the season ranked 19th in the league with just 21.9 points per game. They scored 20 or fewer points in three of their last four games, and the offense was shut out against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17.
The Texans’ offensive struggles aren’t going to end this week against the best-scoring defense in the NFL. The Chargers allowed just 17.7 points per game this season, and they’ve held their last two opponents to 20 points or less. They managed that feat against 13 opponents this season.
CJ stroud Over 0.5 interceptions (-125) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stroud has thrown 12 interceptions this season, and he’s particularly struggled against good teams. This season, he faced six teams that are in the postseason. He threw eight interceptions in those contests and at least one in five of those games.
The Chargers are also great at forcing interceptions. Though they have only one pick in their last three games, they averaged 0.9 per game this season, which ranks tied for eighth in the NFL. With the Chargers favored and boasting a solid run defense, things aren’t looking good for the Texans’ second-year quarterback.
Justin Herbert 3+ passing touchdowns (+380) ⭐⭐⭐
After two safe picks, it’s time to take a chance to really elevate the odds of this parlay.
Herbert has thrown multiple touchdowns in four consecutive games. In one of those contests, he threw three. The Chargers’ offense has been great of late, scoring at least 34 points in each of its last three contests.
The Texans allowed 21.9 points per game this season, and most of the touchdowns they allowed were through the air. Teams averaged 1.8 passing touchdowns per game against this team.
Though Herbert had multiple touchdown passes in just four of his first 13 games this season, he’s red-hot right now and gets the best matchup of the postseason when it comes to touchdown passes. Look for him to stay hot, as the Chargers’ offense carves up the Texans’ defense.
