The Chiefs are staring down the barrel of possibly missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014. It won’t get any easier against the fired-up Texans, who head to Arrowhead with a 4 game winning streak. Here’s NFL betting tips for the primetime matchup on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
Houston are on fire at the moment after 4 straight wins. They took down the Colts 20-16 last week in a huge result for their chances of winning the AFC South. They’ve got QB C.J. Stroud back from a lengthy concussion and he should be better for the run when he faces this Chiefs D on Monday. The key will also be the Texans defence, which is simply on fire. They are the #1 team in the NFL for points allowed (16.5) and can defend both the pass & run. That will be a massive factor against the Chiefs offence.<\/p>\n
After just 1 win in their last 4 games, the Chiefs are in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time with Mahomes as QB. With a 6-6 record, they likely can’t win the AFC West so they’ll need to hope for a wildcard spot and a win over Houston will make that challenge a lot easier.<\/p>\n
The Texans will face the Chiefs at an ideal time and keeping the margin under a touchdown should be achievable. They come into this one with a 4 game winning streak and their defence is one of the best units in the NFL. Which should help them contain Mahomes, Rice, Hunt and Kelce. Houston also have a 6-1 record against the AFC and have covered in 6 of their last 9 games. Meanwhile, KC have only covered in 1 of their last 5.<\/p>\n
This matchup figures to be on the low scoring side. The Chiefs have gone Under in 6 of their last 7 and their offence has been struggling lately. They now face a Texans D that allowed just 16 pts to the Colts last week and the Under has saluted in 5 of their last 7 road games.<\/p>\n
Nico has been a beast lately, going over 70+ receiving yards in 3 of his last 4 games. With Stroud back at QB, they connected for 5 catches and 98 yards in the win over the Colts. He’s also had 10+ targets in 5 of his last 6 games, so that should convert to over 70+ yards here.<\/p>\n
