Get those parlays in before tomorrow’s big game.
We’re on the eve of the Texans AFC Wild Card matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have rebounded from a 5-12 2023 season to clinch a wild card spot in these playoffs.
The stakes are high for Houston. They have had an all-around disappointing season and enter the playoffs with potentially the least amount of momentum of any team. The offense is hurt, the defense is losing starters, and the run game has disappeared. Los Angeles will be an extremely good matchup in their first 11-win season.
There’s a ton of interesting storylines and opportunities to cash in for those watching the game. FanDuel’s Same Game Parlay offers fantastic bets on the all games in the NFL Playoffs. Particularly, take a look at this suggested Same Game Parlay:
Essentially, this three-leg parlay would net a user $974.18 with a $10 wager.
J.K. Dobbins only eclipsed the 70+ rush yards mark five times in the 2025 season. Two of those being in weeks one and two. His yards and carries diminished over the season as Gus Edwards vultured carries down the stretch. The two backs have a 2:1 carries total throughout the season with Dobbins being the featured back, Additionally, Dobbins enters the matchup with an ankle injury that limited him in practice on Tuesday. Dobbins is fairly certain to suit up against the Texans, but it is something to monitor heading into this matchup with this parlay in hand.
Houston’s offense has been anything but prolific in the second half of the season. The offense just barely eclipses 20 points in its games and has routinely been held to 25 or less. 20 though is a tough number to bet against Houston scoring, but the Chargers defense has been much improved down the stretch. They held the Chiefs to 19 points, but that has been about it. Swapping this leg to the Texans scoring Over 20.5 points takes much of the gravitas out of this bet; it now becomes +2926 parlay ($10 gets you $292.62 if correct).
Houston is without many of their offensive pass options. Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell’s injuries hamper the Texans. Collins has scored a touchdown twice in the past four games. He’s only scored two touchdowns in one game once this season against the Miami Dolphins, but his touchdown productivity is up there with the best in the league. He owns a huge portion of the Texans’ red zone offense. While Collins will see a significant amount of coverage attention, the Los Angeles Chargers allowed 24 passing touchdowns over 17 games, averaging approximately 1.41 passing touchdowns allowed per game. This performance placed them in a tie for 12th place among all NFL teams in terms of fewest passing touchdowns allowed per game.
It’s a big swing putting these three bets together, but Houston has a good chance to capitalize on an average defense in the Los Angeles Chargers. AND you can take advantage of that with a big parlay on FanDuel.
