Jayden Higgins Over 38.5 receiving yards (-113) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Though the Texans are a threat to rest starters if things get out of hand in Jacksonsville with these simultaneous kickoff times, I like Houston’s receiving corps to take advantage of a favorable matchup against Indianapolis in the first half.
The Colts allow the second-most yards per game to opposing WRs (171.5). Jayden Higgins racked up 65 receiving yards in his previous game against Indy. As a rookie, it’s conceivable that Higgins gets more run in this game than veteran wideout Nico Collins, making Higgins a more attractive bet for counting stats like yardage and receptions.

Riley Leonard Under 160.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The quarterback who wasn’t considered good enough to start over Philip Rivers when the Colts still had something to play for will now face one of the stingiest pass defenses in the league in Week 18.
Riley Leonard logged 145 yards in relief of Daniel Jones in his only significant action, but that came against Jacksonville’s 22nd-ranked pass defense (224.4 yards per game). I don’t anticipate Leonard to perform as capably against Houston’s lethal defense, which ranks fourth in the league against the pass (179.6 yards per game).
Nico Collins anytime TD scorer (+155) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
With Houston’s implied team total at 24.5, at least a couple of passing scores are likely in this matchup. While Nico Collins may not play the entire game, his +155 anytime TD scorer odds from bet365 against this Colts secondary feel like strong value.
Collins has six touchdowns on the year and faces a Colts defense that allows 1.4 passing touchdowns per game while limiting opponents to less than a rushing score per contest.
