The Kansas City Chiefs come into this AFC Conference Wild Card game sporting a surprising 11-5 record. After starting the season 1-5, they have gone on an insane 10-0 run! The Chiefs haven’t lost a game since October 18th where they were defeated by the Minnesota Vikings 10-16. Do you want to know who that one team was that the Chiefs defeated in their first 6 games of the regular season? I thought you did, it was the Houston Texans, with a final score of 27-20. The Chiefs also covered the -1 point spread and the game went Over the 40 point Total. Despite averaging more yards per play, the Texans essentially lost the game due to committing two costly turnovers.
The AFC South Champion Houston Texans come into this AFC Conference Wild Card game with a 9-7 record. The Texans were at one point +350 in their odds to win the division before the season started, which was behind the Indianapolis Colts, who were -500 favorites. The Texans come into this game on a 3 game winning streak where they have averaged 26.6 points per game. A huge factor as to why they are on this win streak is due largely in part to their 10 defensive takeaways in that 3 game span, and rushing for over 100 yards as well.
