Texans vs Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer pick: John Metchie III (+700)
Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing
Let’s get right into our longshot of the weekend – John Metchie III +700 anytime touchdown on BetMGM. You can find Metchie at +490 and +500 on DraftKings and FanDuel, so we’ll gladly take advantage of the price MGM is offering.
If the Texans want any chance to upset the Chiefs on Saturday at Arrowhead, they will need others to step up other than Nico Collins and Joe Mixon. Mixon is dealing with an ankle injury that held him out of practice on Thursday.
Metchie has stepped up for the Texans since they lost Tank Dell for the season and the foreseeable future. He was targeted a season-high 8 times in the Wild Card, even after fumbling on his first reception in the 1st quarter. He has big play potential, and with the arm that C.J. Stroud has, Metchie is a threat on any play he’s on the field for.

Texans vs Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer pick: Isiah Pacheco (+160)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing
The Chiefs backfield continues to be a mystery, with Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt splitting carries. Head Coach Andy Reid said during the bye, “I don’t know how they’ll divvy up, but I would imagine it’ll just end up being the same as we’ve been doing with them. They’ll both be in there battling.”
Even with a split backfield, Pacheco, at a price of +160 with multiple weeks of rest and the Chiefs being heavy favorites, is worth a stab. He failed to score in the five games since returning from an ankle injury sustained in Week 2, but he offers a hard-running mentality that the Chiefs could use out of the backfield.
