In Week 14 of Sunday Night Football, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to host the Houston Texans. Kansas City faces a pressing need to win after falling to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving and losing three of their last four games. They currently sit at 6-6 and are in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time under Coach Andy Reid.

Conversely, the Texans recently secured a crucial win against the Indianapolis Colts, improving their record to 7-5. They have a promising schedule ahead and can still aim for a wild card or an AFC South title.

Watch the Game:

• Date: Sunday, December 7
• Time: 8:20 PM ET
• Location: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri
• TV: NBC

Current Odds: Chiefs -3.5; Over/Under 41.5

Key Storylines:

• The Chiefs desperately need a win to stay relevant in playoff discussions.
• The Texans are on a four-game winning streak and looking to solidify their playoff position.
• Kansas City’s offensive line faces challenges with injuries to key players.
• Houston’s dominating defense has made significant impacts in recent games.

Prediction: Despite the current struggles, I expect the Chiefs to pull through with a 23-16 victory over the Texans.
