The Houston Texans will host the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card Round. Come chat with us during the game!
This game could go one of two ways. Either a defensive slugfest as both teams feature top defenses this season or it’ll just be a wild back and forth shootout that ends in a high score. The Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans are two teams that could make some waves in the playoffs, but I’m not sure they should be considered Super Bowl contenders this year.
Kickoff is set for Saturday, January 11, 2025 at 2:30 p.m. Mile High time at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas and will air on CBS.
My Prediction
According to FanDuel, the Chargers are favorited by 3-points on the road against the Texans here and that feels just about right to me. If you look at each teams offensive and defensive rankings they look almost mirror image of each other. Top 10 defenses, with a run game that ranked better than their pass games, but both were middling at best by seasons end. If I had to pick a winner, I think the Texans being at home will get a big play that decides the game in this one.
Texans 27, Chargers 23.
