The Patriots are expected to crush the Texans in the AFC divisional playoffs, according to the oddsmakers.
Via ESPN:
The Patriots opened as 14.5-point favorites against the Houston Texans in Saturday's AFC divisional playoff game at Gillette Stadium.
The line quickly grew to New England -16 shortly after being posted Sunday afternoon at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, making it one of the four largest playoff point spreads in the past 40 seasons.
New England being favored by more than two touchdowns against Houston in a playoff game is crazy, but considering the matchup, understandable.
