In the AFC Wild Card round, the Los Angeles Chargers, under rookie head coach Jim Harbaugh, will face the Houston Texans, who secured the AFC South title with a 10-7 record. Despite a recent 2-2 stretch and injuries to key players Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell, the Texans are optimistic, leveraging CJ Stroud's playoff experience from last year.

The Chargers finished their season strong with three consecutive wins, ending as runners-up in the AFC West. With a strong betting line favoring Los Angeles, the matchup promises to be a competitive clash at NRG Stadium.
