Will the Chargers zap the energy out of Houston this afternoon?
The Los Angeles Chargers are in Texas this afternoon, ready to kick off NFL Super Wild Card Weekend against the Houston Texans. Per FanDuel Sportsbook, the Chargers enter today’s game as 2.5-point (-2.5) favorites over the Texans in their own stadium.
So here we go: LA as the five seed meets Houston as the four seed — with rights to advance to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. Who wins? My guess is the Chargers under new head coach Jim Harbaugh. The Texans have been reeling of late, and quarterback C.J. Stroud hasn’t played nearly as well as he did last season — at least since the second half of his team’s win over the Buffalo Bills earlier this season.
Los Angeles Chargers 23, Houston Texans 20
Here’s your open thread for the first of two games to begin this season’s playoffs. As always, be kind to one another — and in all things… Go Bills!
Here we go, y’all!
