Kansas City Chiefs vs Houston Texans Prediction: The City Chiefs have to prove their worth

In the quarterfinal round of the National Football League, Kansas City Chiefs will play the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium. The two sides will eye a spot in the semis and will approach this game with confidence. Which team makes it to the next round? I will offer a full game review and provide the best betting opportunities. 

Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs were thrashed in the quarterfinal encounter of this competition the previous and will hope things go right for them here. In a game that ended 38-0, Kansas City Chiefs conceded 24 points in each half, with their only highlight being a field goal missed by Butker. However, Kansas City Chiefs' performance in the regular season was outstanding, finishing top of the conference standings with a 15-2 record. Kansas City Chiefs head into this game with a run of six wins in their last eight matches. This team won three of the last five games of this fixture. 

Houston Texans

Houston Texans will hope luck finds them again as they come in as an underdog for the second time in this playoff. In round 1/8, Houston Texans pulled off a 32-12 win, thanks to a solid second to final quarter performance, having failed to score in quarter one. However, the Houston Texans' regular season was not too bad, with a record of 10-7. Heading into this game, Houston Texans have recently lost twice in their last away games. However, the Houston Texans have defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, and Tennessee Titans in recent times. Houston Texans have one win and drawn one of their last five meetings against the Kansas City Chiefs in recent years.

The Texans could be a big threat to this City Chiefs side that struggled against the Broncos last week. While this will be tough with the two teams expected to be at their best, I agree with the bookies backing the Kansas City Chiefs.
