The Kansas City Chiefs had an extra week to get ready for this match, but they are only 16-17 ATS with a rest advantage since Mahomes became quarterback in 2018. While the Chiefs went 15-2 this term, they won just 4 times by over 8 points. 10 of Kansas City’s matches this season were determined by 7 or lower, so they have hardly subdued their opponents.
Kansas City’s single loss this campaign when playing their starters happened in Week 11 at Buffalo, as they recorded 78 rushing yards and Mahomes threw 2 interceptions. The Texans only held the Los Angeles Chargers to 50 rushing yards, so if the Chiefs’ rushing attack doesn’t start early, Houston will make this a close match.
Betting On The Houston Texans
- 1XBet Spread: +8.5
- 1XBet Over/Under: Under 41.5
- 1XBet Moneyline: 4.75
CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans took care of the Chargers in a 32-12 victory in the Wild Card round, as they outgained them by 168 yards and won the turnover battle 4-1. But, facing Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs is a completely different ball game, but this Texans’ defense means business.
DeMeco Ryans squad is 4th in the NFL in success-rate permitted, 5th in EPA per play, 2nd in points per quality possession allowed and 5th in total yards allowed (315.0) per game. Analysts don’t expect Mahomes to throw 4 interceptions like Justin Herbert does, but this Houston defense can create problems for him.
MatchPlug Prediction For Kansas City Chiefs VS Houston Texans
The last time the Chiefs and Texans met at Arrowhead, Kansas City won 27-19, covering a 3.5-point spread. But, Mahomes hasn’t made any big numbers this year, as the Chiefs are just 1-5 ATS this season when they are 7+ favourites. Historically, Kansas has dominated at Arrowhead, as they are 54-15 SU since 2018, but now they are 31-35-3 ATS. Expect the Texans to keep this match close, even if the Chiefs win again.
Final Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs Spread.
