First NFL wild card round prediction

For the third time in five seasons, the NFL playoffs will begin in Houston the home of the Texans.

Twice before the Texans, who face the K.C. Chiefs nee Dallas Texans, opened the NFL playoffs with wild card round victories.

Each of those victories was against the Cincinnati Bengals, who oddly play later tomorrow as there are two AFC games on the same day for the first time ever in this round and just the second time in NFL post-season history (the 1977 divisional round being the other).

I offer no prediction on what I feel is a too close to call game or even spread with the road team, Chiefs favored by three points.

A higher scoring game than expected, the total points gauged at 40 and I predict more than 40 points to be scored in the game.
