NFL Christmas Day Game Props, Picks, Odds

The Tank Dell injury creates a void in the Texans’ passing game.

Houston is now down two receivers, and lost Dell after Stefon Diggs went down with a season-ending ACL tear earlier this year.

Nico Collins is going to get his chances no matter who he shares the pitch with, but someone else will have to step up alongside him.

Enter tight end Dalton Schultz, who has had a solid stretch after a slow start to the season.

Schultz is averaging nearly 39 yards per carry. game over his last eight games after not hitting that number through the first six weeks of the NFL season.

Now, with so many Texans pass catchers on the sidelines, Schultz is sure to take on an even bigger role.

We got a glimpse of how Stroud can split his targets and get Schultz involved with Dell off the field last Saturday in the second half against the Chiefs.

After Dell left the game early in the third quarter, Schultz had three catches for 33 yards on four targets.

He finished the game with five catches and eight targets – both season highs – and they’ll have a much easier task at Christmas.

Bet on the NFL?

The Ravens’ secondary has struggled this season, giving up 254.9 yards through the air per carry. game, the second most in football.

Bet Schultz has a good vacation in Baltimore.

The play: Dalton Schultz must have more than 35.5 receiving yards (-110, BetMGM Sportsbook)
