The divisional round of the 2024 NFL playoffs features four exciting matchups. On Saturday, Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs face C.J. Stroud and the Texans, where Stroud, at 23, will be the youngest starting quarterback to face a defending Super Bowl champion in the postseason. The Texans’ defense, which had 49 sacks this season, must pressure Mahomes, who was sacked only once in their Week 16 meeting. The Chiefs, with a 48.5% third-down conversion rate, will need to maintain their efficiency against Houston’s defense, which allowed conversions only 35.9% of the time. The Texans are 7-3 when running back Joe Mixon averages over 4.0 yards per carry. Betting odds favor the Chiefs by 8 points, with an over/under of 41.5. The Chiefs are 15-2 this season but only 7-10 against the spread, while the Texans are 8-10 ATS.
