In the Cheap Seats, Chron sports writers answer burning questions from readers.

What are oddsmakers saying about the Texans' wild-card round game against the Browns?

Chron sports writer Michael Shapiro:

The Houston Texans shocked the NFL world this season as they rose from the AFC South cellar to the division crown. However, the surprise team of 2023 now appears to be doubted once again ahead of the playoffs.

Houston is listed as a 2.5-point underdog for Saturday's Wild Card Weekend battle against the Cleveland Browns as of Monday morning. The Texans are one of two home underdogs in the opening round of the playoffs this season, joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who will host the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.
