I like the Texans in this one. We saw yesterday in the Ravens a team that went into Denver in the regular season and were destroyed. The Texans came to New England once upon a time ago on a Monday night and were blown out of the building in the first quarter. I don't see that happening in the playoffs here today. Look for the Texans to play with a huge chip on their shoulder much like the Ravens did.
Again Brady and the Patriots have been in this position before and have come up short. The Texans are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 with revenge on the line and the Patriots are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 playoff games. We saw just 2 years ago when the Jets got blown out by the Patriots and came back in the playoffs to shock them. The Texans have similar ingredients with a good running game solid defense and a QB that can play extremely well off play action. I expect the Texans to be in this game right to the finish.
