Chargers 27, Texans 17:
The Chargers have won three in a row and gave up an NFL-best 301 points this season. They will be able to outscore the Texans on the road, who interestingly scored 372 points this season, while also giving up 372 points.- Jeremy Cluff, USA TODAY Network
Chargers 27, Texans 17:
When looking back at the film, this is actually a pretty strong matchup for the Texans. If they can eliminate Ladd McConkey, thus forcing the Bolts to have trust the ground game, it could be an easy day that office. But, Houston also has to show up offensively inside the red zone. I can’t see that after a woeful year of converting from within the 20. – Cole Thompson, Texans Wire
