NFL DFS Picks, Lineup Advice for Chiefs vs. Texans on 'Sunday Night Football'

The Chiefs must win to avoid their worst season under Mahomes while facing the NFL's top defense, as the Texans aim to strengthen their playoff position with a fifth straight win.

  • On Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, the Kansas City Chiefs hosted the Houston Texans in Week 14 Sunday Night Football in a must-win game to salvage their playoff hopes.
  • Facing playoff pressure, the Kansas City Chiefs entered Week 14 with a surprising 5-5 record and must nearly win out, while the Houston Texans came in at 7-5 on a four-game winning streak.
  • Pitting Kansas City's top-10 scoring offense against Houston's No. 1 defense, the Texans miss Tim Settle Jr. and Jaylen Reed, while Will Anderson's 10.5 sacks and Derek Stingley's coverage define their defense this year.
  • A Chiefs loss would saddle the team with the most losses of the Patrick Mahomes era and further threaten their nine-year AFC West streak, while a Texans win moves Houston closer to tying the Indianapolis Colts in the wild-card race.
  • With an over/under set at 41.5 and expert spreads circulating, Mike McClure locked in 'Sunday Night Football' DFS picks, highlighting Patrick Mahomes and rostering Dalton Schultz among his top choices and hosting analysis behind a SportsLine paywall.
