Official Texans vs. Chiefs Wild Card Game Thread, 1/9/2016

Probably just typos above, but the game is Saturday, not Sunday.

If the Oline holds without Duane Brown then I think Hoyer and offense will be fine.

I believe our o-line has no problems at all with holding.........

The 4th seeded Texans will be hosting some playoff football this Saturday as the Kansas City Chiefs come to town for the wild card round. The two teams met in Week 1 at NRG and the Chiefs walked away winners in an easy 27-20 victory, a game not as close as the score indicated. The Texan defense did hold the Chiefs scoreless in the second half and will need a similar effort for four quarters if they hope to advance in this win-or-go-home game.....

Geno Bisconte is a part time comic and not a half bad handicapper. See Geno's take on KC vs. Hou here. Geno's videos are always entertaining and he likes the Texans to cover in this one...........

No respect. Can you believe the out-of-the-playoffs Jets (who the Texans beat) finished ahead of the Texans in the final ESPN Power Rankings?

I got a baaad feeling about this..... Brian Hoyer is a major key, IMO. He'll need to be accurate and on point if the Texans have a chance. He's allowed one turnover, two is unacceptable...

Expected to be 1-degree in Minnesota Sunday. I miss truly frigid playoff football as long as my teams aren't playing in them. I hope the Vikes turn off the heat in the Seahawks' lockers.

I always like to see what the "experts" or noted prognosticators are up to....

Cousin Sal of ESPN likes the Chiefs because they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and made KC his lock of the week.

Teddy Covers likes the Texans because a team entering the playoffs that has won 8 or more games in a row is 0-13 ATS since 2004.

Something has got to give....

There's the "they're due to have a flat game" logic.

Always love the home dogs.

All things considered, if Hoyer doesn't mess this up, I really like the Texans defense to flex their muscles tomorrow.

If it was the Pats or Broncos coming in with a 10 game streak, that'd be 1 thing. But it's the Chiefs, with Alex Smith at the helm. Bubble has to pop sooner or later.....

Right?
