Preview:
The Chiefs will greet the Arrowhead faithful as firm -9.5 point favourites this week looking to return to the AFC Championship Game for the second straight year.
Standing in Kansas City’s way is the Texans – a team fresh from a thrilling, yet also very concerning, overtime Wild Card win against the Bills.
Deshaun Watson’s Houdini antics in the pocket last week saw the Texans cover the -2.5 spread, but can bettors really back Houston with confidence after allowing seven sacks?
We’ve beaten this into the ground all year, but the trends suggest the Texans could pull off one of the all-time playoff upsets.
Houston has consistently gone loss, win, win all season – meaning the Texans are in line for another victory before losing in the AFC Championship Game.
Read into that what you will, but it’s also worth noting four of the last five games between these sides have been decided by 10-points or less.
The environment and the heat of the moment might get to the Texans, especially with the offensive line struggling to protect Watson’s blindside. Considering the Chiefs are just 1-9 against the spread in their last 10 home playoff games though, this spread looks a little generous.
Odds:
Tip: Kansas City Chiefs at $1.21
