NFL playoffs are always intense. Right now, the whole of the USA is in chaos due to the start of the postseason. Our preview here will cover the game between the LA Chargers and the Houston Texans at the NRG Stadium in Houston.
LA Chargers News
The team from California allowed the fewest number of points in the NFL. In 18 regular season games, they conceded 301 points. And that’s normal when Jim Harbaugh leads the team from the sidelines. He is one of the best defensive tacticians in the NFL.
The Chargers have three wins in a row. The rivals in these three meetings weren’t that strong—the Broncos, the Pats, and the Raiders. But victories over these units not only secured the fifth seed in the playoffs but also boosted the team’s morale.
Houston Texans News
The Texans won the sorry AFC South division. This assembly is arguably the weakest in the NFL, and purely for those reasons, the Texans reached the postseason. We saw them struggle even against the lousy Tennessee Titans, who wanted to lose the game in order to getting the No.1 draft pick.
Houston won 23-14 that one, yet looked pale. Previously, we saw them suffering a massacre at home against the Baltimore Ravens, who swept them 31-2, exposing all the weaknesses this team had.
LA Chargers vs. Houston Texans Head to Head
The Chargers and the Texans played nine games in total so far, and the team from LA has a 6-3 record. The previous one was in 2022, when they won in Texas, 34-24.
LA Chargers vs. Houston Texans Betting Prediction
The Chargers are in better form than the Texans, and even though they play on the road, we pick them to win here. Houston is a mediocre team that reached the postseason due to luck.
