AFC Wild Card round

Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans

These two teams have battled for division supremacy for a long time. It’s somewhat surprising this will be the first instance they’ve met in the playoffs. The Colts appear to have the advantage. They’re the hotter team with an attacking defense and resurgent Andrew Luck. The weak Texans secondary makes things even more difficult for their great pass rush. Deshaun Watson though is known for showing up in games like this. He will be the X-factor.

IND 31, HOU 27

Los Angeles Chargers at Baltimore Ravens

The Chargers believe they’re finally good enough to go the distance this season. They’ve certainly played at that level at times. Philip Rivers is still really good and their defense is much better. However, they had no answers for the Ravens’ running machine back in December., who put up 159 yards on the ground and their defense held Rivers in check for just 10 points. That was in L.A. too. Now they have to go to Baltimore. It’s asking a lot.
