49ers open up as 15-point favorites against the Texans for Week 17

The stench of the Titans' loss has yet to wear off as the 49ers now need some help to get into the playoffs. The 49ers' chances of making the playoffs likely hinges on their Week 18 matchup with the Rams. But, first things first.

The Texans just dropped 41 points on the Chargers, where rookie quarterback Davis Mills outplayed Justin Herbert without his top target, Brandin Cooks. Mills had a success rate of 60%, with 53% of his passes going for first downs.

Everything for the Texans was working, as Rex Burkhead ran for 149 yards on 22 carries, with two touchdowns.
