Playoffs?!? PLAYOFFS??!!?

Texans are a wild card IF:
- They beat the Jaguars at home
- The Chiefs beat the Chargers at home
- The Browns beat the Ravens in Baltimore

...quite a trifecta.

Hardest one to stomach is the Ratbirds vs. The Browns. Of course if today's Flacco shows up, that could definitely happen. He really really really sucked.

Can you imagine......Case, who didn't win a start in 8 tries before getting cut, gets called off the deer stand and leads the Texans to the playoffs. Holy Moly. Cougar High faithful will be beyond obnoxious.

But I'll take it.......

Well, it looks like Johnny Foos-ball is hurt and Hoyer will likely be at QB, who, while not a great option, at least has something to prove and is playing for a contract (his NFL life) somewhere next year. JFF has been awful and I like the CLE chances of an upset much better with Hoyer at the helm. Let's hope JFF's hammy stays hurt.

Well there goes that idea...

Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel are both hurt, so it could be Connor Shaw time on Sunday

It'd be pretty awesome if the Texans could somehow send J.J. Watt to Baltimore in a Browns uniform just for Sunday. I'd like the playoff odds much more if Watt could terrorize Joe Flacco and the depleted Ravens offensive line one more time...

Back to reality, I imagine the Browns defense will be alright in slowing down the Ravens. Just have to wonder where their offense will come from. TE Jordan Cameron is back again, and maybe their running game will find some holes.

KC is actually a 2.5 pt favorite to beat San Diego.

Unfortunately, the Ravens are 10 pt favorites to defeat the Browns....

Might be a 7th place finish in the AFC for the Texans which would kinda suck but had you told me back in August the Texans would be in the mix in the final week, I would have taken it....

Playing a meaningful final game is a hell of a lot more than any of us had a right to hope for at the beginning of the year.

And amazingly if we snuck into the playoffs we would play either Indy or Pittsburgh, and I think we could compete with either, even with a fourth string quarterback.

....

Due to recent QB changes, the Ravens are now (up to) 14 pt favorites over the Browns and KC vs. San Diego has dropped to a "pickem".

Texans still holding at 9.5 to 10.5 pt favorites.....

Right now, purchasing a $10 3-team parlay for the Texans (-500), Browns (+800) and Chiefs (-210) to all win would pay off $149.43..... In the gambling biz, they call this a "long shot", eheh....
