CJ Stroud leads Texans as underdogs against Lamar Jackson's Ravens

Texans fans are the most excited they have ever been about the team.

The divisional round of the NFL playoffs is set to begin tomorrow with an exciting lineup of games that is sure to keep football fans on the edge of their seats. One of the most highly anticipated matchups features the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens, pitting two standout quarterbacks against each other.

The Texans, led by young sensation CJ Stroud, have captured the hearts of their fanbase with an impressive performance in the playoffs so far. Stroud, just 22 years old, has already made history as the youngest quarterback to win a playoff game. His ability to shine under pressure has been a key factor in the Texans' success. However, they face a tough challenge as they head into their matchup against the Ravens as 9-and-a-half point underdogs.

On the other side of the field, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are looking to silence doubters and make a deep playoff run. Jackson, the overwhelming favorite to win his second MVP award, has faced criticism for his playoff performances, with a record of just one win and three losses. The Ravens have struggled to generate enough offense in those games, as they have failed to score more than 20 points. Jackson remains confident in his abilities and the team's potential to overcome these challenges.

The Texans versus Ravens game is scheduled to kick off at 4:30 Eastern time tomorrow, followed by an exciting matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers. The Packers, led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, are coming off a strong regular season and will be looking to continue their winning ways. The 49ers, on the other hand, boast a formidable defense and will be aiming to capitalize on their home-field advantage.

Sunday's lineup includes a showdown between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Detroit Lions at 3:00 Eastern time. The Bucs, led by legendary quarterback Tom Brady, will be hoping to advance further in the playoffs with their high-powered offense. The Lions, however, have proven to be a resilient team and will not go down without a fight.

The weekend concludes with a highly anticipated matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. This will be the third playoff meeting between the two teams in the past four years, but the first time the game will be held in Buffalo. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who holds a perfect 2-0 playoff record against Bills quarterback Josh Allen, will be facing the challenge of his first-ever road playoff game.

As the divisional round approaches, football fans across the nation are eagerly awaiting these exciting matchups as the battle for a spot in the Super Bowl intensifies.
