The Texans beat down the LA Chargers 32-12 Saturday in a Wild Card Game. Houston was a 2.5-point home underdog and the Over (42) cashed. QB C.J. Stroud was 22-for-33 for 282 passing yards, 1 TD and 1 pick. RB Joe Mixon ran for 106 yards with a TD on 25 carries, and WR Nico Collins finished with 122 receiving yards and a score on 7 receptions.

The Chiefs come off their bye — as the AFC’s top seed — and honestly, the starters had almost 3 weeks off. The Chiefs were bludgeoned 38-0 by the Denver Broncos in Week 18, but only a few starters played since Kansas City already locked up the No. 1 seed. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes went 100-for-154 for 949 yards, 7 TDs and 0 INTs in 4 December games.

The Chiefs beat the Texans 27-19 at Arrowhead in Week 16.
