Playing some of the best ball of his career late in this season.
The Texans finally get some help as the Eagles beat the Bills meaning Houston moves over Buffalo in the AFC standings.
They are currently the 5 seed in the AFC.
If this holds, the Texans play the winner of the Week 18 Steelers/Ravens game in the Wild Card round.
The most likely AFC Wild Card Matchups:
- HOU @ PIT/BAL
- BUF @ JAX
- LAC @ DEN/NE
I don’t think it’s that crazy to think if Houston can take care of business in the WC round they could host a AFC Divisional round game vs Buffalo or Los Angeles.
The Texans will head into Week 18 with the inside track to be the 1st wild card team in the AFC & the 5th overall seed.
With a win next week vs Indy they will face the winner of Pittsburgh vs Baltimore.
I think Nick Caley has done some really good things as Texans OC this season but one thing I haven’t understood is the WR Usage.
It’s Week 17 & while I understand the blocking from Hutchinson/Kirk which is why they play in situations on a 3rd & 9 with the game essentially on the line they just should not be on the field over Higgins and Noel.
Those guys are just not going to separate against man coverage down the field like Higgins and Noel could.
The Texans with a Bills loss this week & a win next week would play the winner of Ravens vs Steelers on the road in the WC round.
With a win next week & a Bills win they will play the #3 seed which could be a number of teams but most likely either Jacksonville or Denver.
Jaguars will likely win in Indy and keep their lead in the AFC South headed into Week 18.
- Texans vs Colts
- Jags vs Titans
Texans will move to the 5 seed with a Bills loss today or stay at the 6 seed with a Bills win.
