Texans vs Steelers anytime touchdown scorer best bet: Houston Texans D/ST (+475)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The Texans’ defensive unit is as strong as any in the National Football League. They ranked 3rd in takeaways during the regular season, and held teams to zero first downs on 36% of their drives — a mindblowing number that showcases how special this group is. A likely low-scoring game on Monday will be decided on which offensive unit comes to play. The Steelers return DK Metcalf, but he’ll face a daunting secondary. Meanwhile, the Texans are capable of big plays with the likes of Nico Collins and rookie Jayden Higgins on the outside.
Nonetheless, we’ll take a flyer on the Texans’ defense and special teams flipping this game. Be cautious that FanDuel counts special teams and defensive touchdowns separately, while DraftKings puts the 2 together.

Texans vs Steelers TD scorer pick: Christian Kirk (+700)
Odds available at bet365 at time of publishing.
Let’s get even crazier for our 2nd Texans vs Steelers TD scorer bet for MNF. Christian Kirk will be playing in his 4th playoff game, but 1st with the Texans. He found the end zone twice during the Jaguars’ run in 2022, which included the thrilling 31-30 game versus the Chargers. With Nico Collins resting last week, Xavier Hutchinson put on a show with a 79% snap share and rookie Jayden Higgins logging a team-high 57%. At +700 to find the endzone, I’m willing to take a shot on the veteran Kirk, while Collins and Dalton Schultz command attention inside the red zone.
