The Chiefs take on the Texans in an important Week 14 clash
The Chiefs vs Texans Week 14 matchup on Sunday will have severe playoff consequences in the AFC. At present, both teams are out of the postseason, but a win will boost their chances quite a bit.
For context, the Texans are currently third in the AFC South, while the Chiefs are third in the AFC West, but the road to the postseason for Kansas City is much tougher, given that the Broncos are already 3 games ahead at this stage of the season.
Game Details:
| Recommended Bets | FanDuel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Patrick Mahomes Under 1.5 Passing Touchdowns | -148 | -143 |
| C.J. Stroud 225+ Passing Yards | -140 | -110 |
| Total Points Under 41.5 | -104 | -109 |
The Houston Texans have arguably the best defense in the league, and that goes for their pass defense as well. The Texans rank fourth in the league in passing yards allowed and are tied for second in the league, having given up only 12 touchdowns through the air.
C.J. Stroud has consistently passed for over 225 yards this season. Stroud has also had multiple games of over 250 yards lately. Going up against the Chiefs, the Texans may rely on their pass game as the KC run defense is slightly better than its pass defense.
This game is expected to be dominated by the defense as both teams have one of the better defenses in the league. In terms of scoring defense, the Texans rank first in the league, giving up just 16.5 points per game. The Chiefs are also in the top ten, giving up just under 20 points per game.

The Texans come into this game with the best defense in the league. Their front 2 of Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter have combined well to disrupt opposing offenses at will. The offense, though, hasn’t been at the same level as the past couple of years.
As for the Chiefs, this has been the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era that Kansas City has been in such a position. With no room for error, the Chiefs are in a must-win position, and that is generally when they are at their best. Moreover, KC still has a 5-1 record at home, which could play a factor in the final result.
Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs to win.
