Both teams are basically starting backup quarterbacks, and it’s worth reminding you that Jonathan Taylor and Dameon Pierce are out for the season. These are two "Under" teams – they’re a combined 20-12 to the "Under" – and it’s tough envisioning lots of fireworks given the lack of offensive talent.

There’s also a very good chance Houston plays possum on Sunday. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that after watching college quarterbacks Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud light it up on New Year’s Eve, the Texans got obliterated 31-3 by Jacksonville on New Year’s Day. It’s almost like management reminded everybody what’s at stake in the final games.

The Texans are so close to the No. 1 overall pick they can taste it.

Don’t overthink it.
