The Houston Texans have beaten the Los Angeles Chargers 20-16 on the road, clinching a playoff berth. The Texans scored 14 of their 20 points in the opening 10 minutes of the game, as C.J. Stroud hit Jayden Higgins for a 75-yard touchdown and then Jaylin Noel for a 43-yard score.

The Patriots needed the Chargers to beat the Broncos to get the one seed in the playoffs, but quarterback Justin Herbert will not play.

This is definitely an intriguing matchup, but the line movement speaks volumes. The lookahead line had the Texans as 3.5-point underdogs. However, at some sportsbooks, that line is down to 1.5-points. That means sharp action is favoring the Texans.
