The Kansas City Chiefs (6-6) are in unfamiliar territory heading into Week 14. After a 31-28 Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys, they are .500 through 12 games and currently sit outside the AFC playoff picture.
In Week 14, the Chiefs host the surging Houston Texans in a pivotal AFC showdown as both teams fight for a wild card berth. A loss on Sunday could significantly damage either team’s playoff hopes.
While the Chiefs may be in turmoil, their fifth-ranked offense has kept them in games. The unit started slowly, but since Chiefs WR Rashee Rice returned from suspension, he has emerged as a true difference-maker. Rice and the Chiefs’ offense will battle it out against the stingy Houston Texans defense.
Here, we'll dive into some Rashee Rice stats and a pick vs. the Texans on the Sunday Night Football stage. With PrizePicks, there are ample other NFL player projections to choose from as well.
