Browns at Texans Wild Card Weekend Odds

The Browns rested key starters in Week 18, thanks to having locked up the 5 seed prior to the end of the regular season.

They've been playing great football since Joe Flacco took over. Flacco has averaged 323.2 yards and 2.6 touchdowns per game with 7.9 yards per attempt.

Of note, their defense has had massive splits when away from home. They allowed only 13.9 points per game at home but a league-high 29.4 on the road.

The Texans scored a playoff win by virtue of a road victory against the Colts in Week 18 on Saturday night, which means we'll get to see the phenomenal C.J. Stroud earn a playoff start as a rookie.

Stroud had some pretty massive home/road splits this season (17 touchdowns at home and 6 on the road). He also maintained a 108.3 quarterback rating at home, a number that dropped to 91.5 on the road. Most notably, though, Stroud averaged 8.9 yards per attempt in games with roofs but just 6.9 yards per attempt in games outdoors (five such games).

The Jaguars' loss in Week 18 could prove crucial for the Texans' offense, now that they're at home for the Wild Card round.

Texans WRs Noah Brown (back) and Robert Woods (hip) were limited in practice on Thursday.

Browns CB Denzel Ward (knee and shoulder) was limited on Thursday.

Dolphins at Chiefs Wild Card Weekend Odds

The Chiefs rested a lot of key starters in Week 18's game because they had locked up the 3 seed entering the week.

While they'll have to hit the road at some point if they put together a playoff winning streak, the team will start the playoff race at home. Kansas City scored 23.0 points per game at home this season, a pretty middling rate.

However, 17 of Patrick Mahomes' 27 touchdowns this year came at Arrowhead.

The Dolphins' offense has traveled well and has averaged 26.1 points per game on the road, the second-highest mark in the NFL this season.

Their Week 18 loss to the Bills bumped them down to the 6 seed despite their 11-6 record, and that means a visit to Arrowhead as road underdogs in a game with a total lower than we probably would've expected before the season began.

Tyreek Hill (ankle and quad), Raheem Mostert (knee and ankle), and Jaylen Waddle (ankle) were limited in practice on Thursday. De'Von Achane (toe and ribs) was full.
