Taking the TEXANS here. What a great match-up here. A pair of ultra hot teams. KC, winners of 10 straight after starting out 1-5. That lone win, opening day vs these same Texans. Who, started out 2-5 and won 7 of their last 9 to win the South. A lot has changed since September. The least being both teams playing well. I like KC, I do. But man. The Texans are getting to play the old disrespect card here at home. 10 in a row is great. But was their a playoff team in there over the coarse of the last month or so? We need to head back to them coming out of their bye week to face Denver to see a team still playing or with a winning record. And even with 5 INTs (4 of Manning) they didn't put many points on the board (5 FGs). In fact, Alex Smith threw for 204 yards, 80 coming on TD pass. They also barely eclipsed 100 yards rushing. Point being here, the Texans defense is playing some monster defense. Much like the Broncos were doing most of the season. And that is the big difference maker here especially with a force like JJ roaming on that side of the ball. I am not sure if you line up 10 casual NFL fans in a room if 8 of them know who the Texans HC is. But Bill O'Brian has done a great job with 4 QBs this season! I had to hit Wikipedia to show me that the last Chiefs Play-Off was 1994 with Joe Montana and Marcus Allen beating the Warren Moon led Houston Oilers. I do have a vivid memory of them blowing a 38-10 lead to the Colts and losing 45-44. That is some Andy Reid football right there. Being a favorite is different. And this being a home dog in NFL playoff action, well count me in. 10* Money Bomb HOUSTON TEXANS
