Saturday Live Thread: Texans at Chiefs, Steelers at Ravens

On By Littum

With the postseason upon us, the NFL is expanding its viewership and has scheduled two games to be played on Saturday in Week 16. In the 1:00 PM ET viewing slot Houston Texas will address Kansas City Chiefs and will be followed by Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens facing 4:30 PM ET.

Texas at Chiefs

Both the Texans (9-5) and Chiefs (13-1) have won their divisions – the AFC South and AFC West, respectively – and this matchup will help determine seeding among the top four teams in the AFC.

Currently, the Texans sit at no. 4 spot and is one game behind the Steelers (who play this afternoon), two games behind the Bills and three games behind the Chiefs, who are currently at No. 1 place. A win in this game could go a long way in helping the Steelers move up in the standings, while the Chiefs would clinch the AFC No. 1 seed with a win and a Bills loss to the Patriots—Buffalo are 14.5-point favorites, so it feels very unlikely.

The people over at FanDuel Sportsbook heavily favor Kansas City in this game with the betting line set to Chiefs -3.5 points.

Steelers at Ravens

The North is the only AFC division that is undecided, and the top two teams in this race for the title will meet in this game. The Steelers (10-4) hold a one-game lead over the Ravens (9-5) and will have a chance to clinch the division with a win. The Ravens can’t win the division, but they can clinch a playoff spot if they can come away with the win.
