Kansas City has allowed just 9, 16, 3, 3 and 21 points in five games since their Week 12 bye.
As for the Texans: sheesh. They're attempting to become the first team since the 2002 realignment to win the Super Bowl despite not boasting an above-average offense or defense. The 2012 Ravens (No. 13 in offense, No. 19 in defense) and 2007 Giants (No. 18 in offense, No. 13 in defense) are the only real champions that were as bad as the Texans during the regular season. They'll need Deshaun Watson to continue to put the team on his back in order to pull off the impossible.

The Niners averaged like 30 a game. It seems like the entire board is discounting them but I think they're probably the most talented team. We just don't know what playoff Jimmy G is going to look like, which is fair.
