Texans at Chiefs
(NFL) Texans (HOU) vs. Chiefs (KC),
Point Spread: 3.50 | -115.00 Texans (HOU) (Away)
Result: Loss
Patrick Mahomes is apparently a go for the Chiefs after injuring an ankle last week vs. the Browns in that 21-7 KC win. That was the first Chiefs cover, however, after seven spread losses in a row...do we really trust KC to lay points? AFC South winner Houston at least seems capable of trading blows as the Texans fight for a better seed in the AFC playoffs, and already played the Packers within 2 on the road and the Lions within 3 at home. The defense has been fairly stout the past two weeks (both wins vs. the Jags and Dolphins), and would expect more production this week from Joe Mixon after gaining just 23 YR last Sunday vs. Miami. Yet it's that hook on top of the three on the spread that really intrigues as the last five wins for KC (prior to last week) had been by three points or fewer, or in OT. Play Texans
