Nico Collins (HOU) Yes Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+110)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Betting on Nico Collins for 'Yes' in the 'player_anytime_td' market appears to be a risky proposition based on Collins' recent and historical performance data. Overall, Collins has failed to score a touchdown in his last 10 games, and his home hit rate in the last 10 games is 30%. His performance against the Arizona Cardinals doesn't inspire confidence either, with a hit rate of 0/1 both overall and at home. Furthermore, in his last 20 games overall, Collins has a hit rate of 15% while his home game hit rate is slightly better at 45%. However, Collins hasn't scored against the Cardinals in his last 20 attempts. Collins' current streak also doesn't bode well, with zero touchdowns in his recent games overall, at home, and against the Cardinals. Given these statistics, it seems unlikely that Collins will score a touchdown in this game. This bet does not seem statistically favorable.
