💰 Texans vs. Steelers best prop bet: Kenneth Gainwell Over 30.5 receiving yards (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Follow all of our NFL analysis and betting advice for the 2026 NFL playoffs.

Gainwell had the most receiving yards (64) against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18, and he hit the Over on this total in three of four games to end the season. 

He continues to be one of Rodgers' go-to options, and I expect that to remain the case against a Texans team with the second-best defensive pass DVOA. The Texans are one of the best at preventing the deep ball, which should force Rodgers to again find Gainwell repeatedly on quick-release options. Our Corey Scott targets Gainwell to reach the end zone as part of his first touchdown scorer predictions for Texans vs. Steelers.


🔥 More Texans vs. Steelers prop picks

Aaron Rodgers Over 204.5 passing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐

If the Steelers lose, which I predicted in my Wild Card Weekend picks against the spread, I can't see Rodgers going out with a whimper. He blew through this total in three of four games to end the regular season.

While the Texans allowed the sixth-fewest passing yards per game, DeMeco Ryans' team conceded more than 200 passing yards in three of the final four games.

I believe the Steelers will be chasing this game late, which should help facilitate the Over. 

Nico Collins Over 69.5 receiving yards (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Steelers' secondary fell apart in Week 18, with Zay Flowers racking up 138 receiving yards on four catches. It's a defense that allowed the fifth-most yards per game to opposing wide receivers (163.65) in the regular season, which bodes well for Stroud's primary target. 

Collins hit the Over on this total in three of the final five games to end the season, and he's one of my Texans vs. Steelers anytime touchdown scorer predictions. Of the best sports betting sites, FanDuel offers the best price. If he has a good night tonight, it should help with our Texans vs. Steelers prediction.
