The Texans secured their postseason berth with a 23-19 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18, and owe their arrival in the Wild Card Round to Jacksonville’s loss to the Tennessee Titans. C.J. Stroud will continue his dream of a rookie season into the NFL Playoffs, but the Texans are 2.5-point underdogs against the Browns.

Cleveland dropped its final game of the season 31-14 to the Cincinnati Bengals, but had already secured a spot in the postseason. 38-year-old Joe Flacco was signed late in the season when Cleveland was desperate for a quarterback, but led the team to four wins of the five games he started for the Browns, finding chemistry with wide receiver Amari Cooper.

One of Flacco’s wins was over the Texans just weeks ago, when Cleveland won 36-22. But Stroud did not play that week, and Houston fans are hoping that makes the difference on Saturday.
