Kansas City Chiefs vs Houston Texans Match Details
Fixture: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Houston Texans
Date and Time: Sunday, December 18; 1:00 pm ET
Venue: NRG Stadium, Houston, Texas
PROP #1: Patrick Mahomes, Passing Yards - Under 298.5 (-130 on DraftKings)
Patrick Mahomes is leading the NFL in passing yards by a wide margin, but has had some games where he is not throwing for a lot of yards.
The Houston Texans are not going to keep this game close and this could potentially be a game where the Chiefs pull Mahomes out in the fourth quarter and ruins his chances of throwing for yards.
The Texans defense allows just 226.9 passing yards per game and actually struggle against the run, so that isn't in his favor either. Take the under as the better bet here.

PROP #2: Travis Kelce, Receptions - Under 6.5 (-160 on DraftKings)
This feels way too high as Travis Kelce is averaging 4.8 receptions in his last five games and this does not feel like a game where Mahomes is going to throw the ball more often.
Kelce is going to be defended well as the number one option in the passing game for the Chiefs so take the under as this number is not set properly.
PROP #3: Rex Burkhead, Anytime TD (+150 on DraftKings)
The Kansas City Chiefs defense has taken a step back lately so there is going to be chances that the Houston Texans will score touchdowns.
With all of the injuries to players like Dameon Pierce and Brandin Cooks, the ball is going to be going toward the veteran running back to find the end zone with more opportunities.
