Following one of the best Wild Card Weekends we’ve seen in years, the NFL Playoffs moves on to the Divisional Round this weekend and I’ve got my sights set on the huge matchup between the Houston Texans and New England Patriots. Both of these teams annihilated their opponents last week, allowing a combined 9 points, so it will be interesting to see how they come out for this one. Let’s get into my best Texans vs Patriots player prop bets for Sunday’s matchup, which features a +850 longshot play!

Best Texans vs Patriots player prop bet: Kyle Williams (NE) over 4.5 receiving yards (-114)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
I might be the only sicko on this bet. With that being said, I dig this one. Kyle Williams will not be on the field every snap on Sunday, but that’s okay with a line like this. Williams played 33% of snaps last week in his playoff debut. The first worry was that maybe he came in late when the game was already decided, which inflated this number. That’s not the case, as Williams had already run 10 routes by halftime.
We realistically need 1 catch here, as Williams is known as a deep play threat. This bet has ladder potential written all over it if we see him streak down the sideline for a big grab. Houston has an awesome secondary but I expect them to be worried about containing Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry, while also accounting for Drake Maye’s scrambling. Give me one play where Williams can just get 5 easy yards!

Texans vs Patriots player prop longshot: Kyle Williams (NE) anytime touchdown scorer (+850)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
I’m double-dipping on Williams here. I think it’s worth a tiny sprinkle at these incredible odds for him to score. Williams finished the regular season scoring 3 touchdowns in the final 8 weeks, and I believe +850 is just too good of odds for a guy who runs a 4.40 40-yard dash and has shown an ability to find paydirt. Let’s roll!
