Houston @ Kansas City
Team Totals: Chiefs 25, Texans 16.5
Even fresh off a somewhat season-saving Wild Card upset win over the Chargers, Houston limps into the Divisional Round nursing injuries throughout its pass-catcher corps and O-Line in a road trip to Arrowhead Stadium to face a healthy Chiefs team that hasn’t played starters since December 25. Exhibiting minimal upside, C.J. Stroud has thrown two TD passes or fewer in 16-of-17 starts this season, while 2024’s Chiefs surrendered the league’s fourth fewest points per game (19.2). … Following a quiet month-long stretch to close out the 2024 regular season, Joe Mixon reasserted himself as Houston’s unchallenged bellcow back by parlaying 26 touches into 119 yards and a TD on 71% of the offensive snaps in Week 19’s win over the Chargers. Yet the Texans are now two-score underdogs facing a Chiefs defense that held enemy running backs to the NFL’s second fewest fantasy points this regular season. RG Juice Scruggs (knee) – filling in for usual starting RG Shaq Mason (knee) – is banged up. I’ll be fading Houston’s running game as an entity at Arrowhead.
