Get set for a Christmas Day NFL showdown when the Baltimore Ravens invade NRG Stadium for a matchup with the Houston Texans.
Both groups have several highly talented football players who could score touchdowns. My Ravens vs. Texans predictions have found two highly likely players to score.
Read on for my anytime touchdown NFL picks for Wednesday, December 25.
Ravens anytime touchdown pick
Mark Andrews anytime touchdown
+188 at BetMGM
Mark Andrews has seen a resurgence this season.
The seven-year vet from Oklahoma ranks second on the Baltimore Ravens in receptions (49) on the third most targets (59) and has hauled in 19 passes across his last five.
Jackson often looks for Andrews as the field gets shorter than any other Baltimore receiver. Andrews has team-highs in targets (14) and receptions (11), with a team-high nine touchdown receptions in the red zone.
Andrews scored one touchdown in each of his last four and five of his previous six. The Houston Texans have allowed the third-most TD receptions in the RZ this season, and I like Houston to give Andrews a present on Christmas Day.

Texans anytime touchdown pick
Nico Collins anytime touchdown
+138 at BetMGM
Nico Collins has scored at least one touchdown in four of his last seven, and I like his chances of finding the end zone on Christmas Day.
Collins can make the big play, but he also leads Houston in RZ targets (12) with a team-high four TD receptions within 10 yards of the goal line.
The Ravens passing defense allows 11 yards per completion and 174 receiving yards per game to wideouts. That will lead to a huge afternoon for the former Michigan Wolverine, who averages 15 yards per reception.
With teammate Tank Dell on the shelf, I expect C.J. Stroud to lean more heavily on his favorite target than his nine targets and 5.6 receptions per game.
Baltimore allows 1.7 touchdown receptions per game and 1.1 of those to wide receivers. Collins has scored four touchdowns in his last seven games, and I like his chances of finding paydirt against the softer Ravens secondary.
