They may have come from the AFC’s worst division, but the Houston Texans are no pushover.
Houston won three straight games to close the regular season, and is the fourth seed in the AFC playoffs. That streak doesn’t impress their opponent, the Kansas City Chiefs, who are in the midst of a ten-game unbeaten run. The two teams started their season at NRG Stadium in the opening week, and now one team’s season will finish there.
Should the Texans end the Chiefs’ streak and advance, their opponent in the next round would depend on the results of the next day’s Steelers-Bengals game. A Steelers victory would send the Texans to New England, while a Bengals triumph would send the Texans north to Denver.
According to OddsShark, The Texans are the most unlikely to win Super Bowl 50. They are the NFL’s biggest longshot at +6600, over ten times as unlikely as AFC favorite New England (+450).
Here is a look at the full odds with Houston at the bottom:
New England Patriots +450
Arizona Cardinals +450
Carolina Panthers +450
Seattle Seahawks +600
Denver Broncos +600
Pittsburgh Steelers +900
Kansas City Chiefs +1600
Green Bay Packers +2200
Cincinnati Bengals +2500
Minnesota Vikings +2800
Washington Redskins +4000
Houston Texans +6600
The Texans are currently a three-point underdog for Saturday’s meeting with the Chiefs.
Super Bowl 50 is February 7, 2016 and will be at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
