The Los Angeles Chargers will visit the Houston Texans in Round 1 of the NFL playoff bracket on Saturday. There, the Chargers will look to keep playing with house money in Year 1 of the Jim Harbaugh experience by stealing a road win after closing the season on a three-game heater that included outbursts of 34 or more points in each contest.

C.J. Stroud has had a bit of a sophomore slump since winning Offensive Rookie of the Year last season and the Texans are just 5-3 at home this season. This seems like a much better matchup for the Chargers than having to go to Baltimore against a team that has already beaten them once this season.

The Chargers will open the NFL's wild-card weekend, and the Rams will close it. LOS ANGELES — The Chargers will open the NFL's wild-card weekend, and the Rams will close it.
