According to OddsShark, the Patriots are favored by 9.5 points, the largest spread of any Divisional Round matchup. The Texans limped to the finish line at the end of the regular season, and then knocked off the Bengals in the Wild Card Round by a score of 19-16 last week. The Patriots, on the other hand, finished the regular season with the top-ranked offense and a first-round bye.
The Patriots and Broncos have been favorites to battle in the AFC Championship game, but the Texans and Ravens could use their top-ranked defenses to knock off Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
