  4. NFL Week 18 games Texans fans MUST watch for AFC playoff seeding:
    – Texans vs. Colts
    – Jaguars vs. Titans
    – Chargers vs. Broncos
    – Bills vs. Jets
    – Patriots vs. Dolphins
    – Ravens vs. Steelers

  5. Possible Texans playoff matchups:

  12. Hope the Titans smoke the Jags come Sunday. Our destiny is winning the Super Bowl, pisses me off the Jags are interfering with it. Wish my Papa was still alive to see Houston win the big one this year. 🏆 🥇 🏈

  22. I'm not gonna lie, I think 5 seed is the best spot to be.
    -We get to play the weakest team in the AFC Playoff Bracket, whether that's the Ravens or Steelers.
    -We're still on the board as the strongest Wild Card team. Everyone knows the 5 seed is not to be fucked with.
    -We have good odds to get a Jags matchup in the Divisionals and I want a Jags game.

  24. I'm hoping for a Texans and Jaguars win. That way the Texans face either the Steelers or Ravens, most likely the Sterlers, and that's a game the Texans can win.

  26. Texans need to do is
    1 let CJ Stroud rest to he can do better in the playoffs
    2 make the offense look better get touchdowns
    3 sack leonard and stop Jonathan Taylor
    4 pick off Leonard
    5 Win the game
