NFL Playoffs 2020: 20 Bold predictions for Divisional Round

19. Hopkins catches at least seven passes in first half

DeAndre Hopkins got off to a slow start last weekend in the win over the Buffalo Bills, but the Houston Texans star is the perfect example of how an overall performance is what really matters the most.

When it comes to the most dangerous wide receivers in the NFL, Hopkins finds himself near the top of the list with the impact he’s made over the years with the Texans, and the Kansas City Chiefs are certainly going to have their hands full in the Divisional Round.

Kansas City’s defense finished the 2019 season on a strong note by emerging as one of the top units over the final two months of action, but just because this is the case doesn’t mean Hopkins won’t still get the football in his hands.

Knowing Deshaun Watson, the Texans quarterback will do everything in his power to make sure Hopkins receives as many targets as possible throughout the contest to make sure Houston keeps up with Kansas City.

Plus, with the way the Chiefs play on offense, this could very well turn into a shootout between both parties, meaning Hopkins could even find his way into the end zone a few times as well, and it wouldn’t be a surprise at all.
