The Houston Texans (9-5) are likely headed to the playoffs. And though most NFL fans are not too excited about their game against the Las Vegas Raiders (2-12), Texans' odds increase tremendously with a win in the game.
The Athletic and its simulations give the Texans an 84% chance to make the playoffs if they win on Sunday even if they lost their final two games. And while the team does not want to take any chances by finishing the year 1-2, there is still much to gain from defeating the Raiders.
What's your prediction for the game?
