New England Patriots playoff opponents: Houston Texans will have a healthy J.J. Watt in postseason

Of the three possible AFC Divisional Round opponents, New England Patriots fans seem to be least concerned by the Houston Texans -- and for good reason.

The Pats walloped Houston, 27-6, just a few weeks ago. The game was even less competitive than the score indicated. Additionally, the Pats should be healthier for the divisional round than they were in Week 14.

They'll get the Texans again if Houston prevails against Kansas City AND Pittsburgh beats Cincinnati.

Earlier in the week, we took a look at the Bengals and the Chiefs.
