There are also three teams favored by more than a touchdown on the road ( Los Angeles Chargers at New England, Miami at Washington and Kansas City at Green Bay). Dallas (at home against Seattle) and Miami (on the road at Washington) are the two biggest favorites. There are some big lines this week, as five games feature a team being favored by a touchdown or more. The winner gets a potentially huge tiebreaker advantage down the road. The Texans are a small favorite, looking to slow down a Denver team trying to make a shocking charge toward a Wild Card spot.
The other big game with huge playoff implications will occur in Houston where the Texans (6-5) will host the white-hot Denver Broncos (6-5).
