Which Underdogs Will Shock the NFL Playoffs and Turn Super Wild Card Weekend Upside Down?
The Texans are the largest home underdogs of the weekend, mainly due to winning the weak AFC South despite a sub-.500 record (4-5) over the regular season’s second half. They’re still more than capable of advancing to the divisional round for a second straight year, provided quarterback C.J. Stroud recaptures the form that made him a landslide winner of the 2023 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
Houston is 9-0 this season when Stroud records a passer rating of 90 or better and 1-7 when that number has dipped below 80. And unfortunately for Texans fans, there’s been more mediocre outings than magnificent ones out of their franchise signal-caller over the past two months.
