The Texans currently sit atop of the AFC South division and are the number two seed in the AFC Conference, which will give them a home game in the first round of the playoffs.
Their opponents, the New York Jets are sat bottom of the AFC East, and are on a five-game losing streak, that has seen the Jets fire coach Robert Saleh after their game in London against the Minnesota Vikings in week five.

Although the stats say otherwise, the Jets QB Aaron Rodgers does not seem to be firing at the moment. He has 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He has thrown for 1896 yards with 175 completions from 284 attempts with a completion percentage of 61.4%.
Prediction – There is no end to the losing streak of the Jets as the Texans win this one 24-13.
