George Stuckey recommended betting on Dalton Schultz to exceed his receiving yards prop in the matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Stuckey highlighted that tight ends have had significant success against the Chiefs, with a tight end surpassing 40 receiving yards in 12 of 17 games this season. On average, tight ends facing Kansas City record six catches on nearly eight targets for just under 70 yards per game. With fellow tight end Cade Stover on injured reserve, Schultz is expected to see increased opportunities. In their previous meeting, Schultz had five receptions for 45 yards on eight targets. Stuckey believes that, with the Texans likely needing to pass frequently due to playing from behind, Schultz will be a key target for C.J. Stroud, making the over on his receiving yards prop a favorable wager.

George Stuckey suggested that the Houston Texans can cover the 8.5-point spread against the Kansas City Chiefs in their divisional round matchup. Stuckey's model projects the game to be closer to a seven-point margin, indicating potential value on the Texans. He acknowledged concerns about the Texans' offense facing pressure from the Chiefs' defense and quarterback C.J. Stroud's challenges against Kansas City's schemes. However, he noted that the Texans have performed well as underdogs this season and have familiarity from their recent game in Kansas City, which should help in managing the high-pressure environment. Despite Patrick Mahomes' impressive 6–0 record in the divisional round, Stuckey believes the Texans can keep the game within the spread.

George Stuckey emphasized that for the Houston Texans to have any chance against the Kansas City Chiefs, tight end Dalton Schultz needs to be heavily involved and exceed expectations. Stuckey noted that Schultz's involvement is critical due to the Texans' offensive struggles and the need to exploit the Chiefs' vulnerabilities over the middle of the field. He mentioned that quarterback C.J. Stroud must utilize quick passes and target Schultz to mitigate the Chiefs' pass rush, especially with pressure coming up the middle from players like Chris Jones. Stuckey also highlighted that the Chiefs' defense is overrated and that their pass defense has been vulnerable due to injuries and facing weakened opponents. By focusing on Schultz and incorporating him into the game plan, the Texans can improve their chances of keeping the game competitive.

George Stuckey argued that the Kansas City Chiefs defense is overrated and remains vulnerable to passing attacks, which could be exploited by the Houston Texans. Stuckey pointed out that while the Chiefs defense has appeared strong statistically, they've benefited from facing teams with significant injuries, particularly at quarterback and offensive line positions. He cited examples such as playing against the Bengals without Tee Higgins, the Falcons losing two starting offensive linemen, the 49ers losing all their skill players, and other teams with injured key players like Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and David Njoku. Stuckey emphasized that the Chiefs pass defense hasn't been truly tested by a fully healthy and competent passing offense. He also noted that the return of cornerback Jaylen Watson is helpful but not transformative, as the Chiefs secondary still has weaknesses. Stuckey suggested that Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud could find opportunities in the passing game, provided he can handle the pressure and utilize weapons like tight end Dalton Schultz and wide receiver Nico Collins.

George Stuckey predicts Sam LaPorta will have a big receiving day against the Washington Commanders, expecting over 48.5 receiving yards. He cites LaPorta's recent increase in production, averaging 5.8 catches on 7.8 targets for 67 yards over the last five games compared to his earlier season averages of 2.8 catches on 4 targets for 36 yards. Over the last five games, this projects to an 18-game pace of 105 catches and 1,200 yards. Stuckey notes that the Commanders' defense against tight ends is worse than it appears due to facing an easy schedule and opponents missing key tight ends like Trey McBride and Dallas Goedert. He believes LaPorta will have easy catches, expecting around eight targets with potential explosive plays. Stuckey mentions that the Lions' offense is expected to score a lot and suggests taking the over on LaPorta's receiving yards.

George Stuckey suggested betting the Detroit Lions team total over 33 points against the Washington Commanders. He believes the Lions offense will perform exceptionally and expects them to score at least five touchdowns in the game, noting that the Commanders defense is 'legit bad' and unlikely to stop the Lions offense indoors.

George Stuckey said Sam LaPorta will have a huge game against the Commanders, expecting him to easily surpass 48.5 receiving yards. He cited LaPorta's last five games where he averaged 5.8 catches on 7.8 targets for 67 yards, projecting to 105 catches and 1,200 yards over 18 games. Stuckey believes the Commanders' defense against tight ends is worse than the numbers show due to an easy schedule and injuries, and expects LaPorta to have around eight targets and several explosive plays.

George Stuckey believed the line is too high at 8.5 points and leaned towards the Texans covering against the Chiefs. He noted that CJ Stroud has been good as an underdog, and that the Texans' defense might be the best left in the playoffs. Despite concerns over the Texans' offense, he thought Houston could keep it close, especially if Dalton Schultz is involved and Stroud uses his legs more.

George Stuckey predicted that Sam LaPorta will surpass 48.5 reception yards against the Commanders. He noted that LaPorta excels against man coverage, which the Commanders frequently use, and that Washington ranks poorly against tight ends (26th in DVOA). LaPorta's recent surge in production, averaging 5.8 catches for 67 yards over the last five games, supports this prediction.
