The Texans can win out pretty easily because I don’t think the Colts are as good as their record and finish 14-2 and get the #1 seed (their other game is against Minnesota). That would probably send the Patriots to Houston in the AFC Championship, but after the Patriots showed them who the big boys in the AFC are, it’s hard to believe they’d win that game. They could. Teams are actually 8-4 ATS in the playoffs avenging a loss of 21+ or more in the regular season (though 4-8 SU), but the Patriots look like the inferior team right now.
