BUF@HOU AFC Wild Card Projections

5. Buffalo Bills @ 4. Houston Texans - SAT 4:35 EST ABC/ESPN

Destined to be a great game Saturday, the AFC South Champion Houston Texans host the Eastern division's runner up, the Buffalo Bills. Three-time Defensive Player of the Year, J.J. Watt returns from an abnormally short injury absence from a torn pectoral muscle. Watt and the Houston line will be tested by Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary, who led the NCAA in touchdowns and ranked fourth in rushing yards in 2017. Deshaun Watson leads the Texans as the eighth ranked quarterback in 2019 from FiveThirtyEight's QB Elo Ratings coming off the highest strength of schedule in the NFL. The offensive side of the ball gives the Buffalo advantage in the ground game while Houston in the air. The key to the game will be the intangibles and Buffalo will execute on them.

Pick: Buffalo
