The Kansas City Chiefs host the Houston Texans this weekend at Arrowhead Stadium in an AFC Divisional Round showdown. Tune in to watch defending Super Bowl champions Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce take on the young and aggressive CJ Stroud live on DirecTV, Fubo and Hulu + Live TV starting Saturday, January 18th.
The two teams have already met this season, with the Chiefs narrowly winning 27-19. The Texans will face a tough game as Kansas City has home-field advantage and Mahomes is undefeated in the divisional round for his career. However, with Stroud, Nico Collins and a stellar defense, Houston could pull off its biggest upset of the playoffs so far.
If the Chiefs aren’t motivated enough heading into this game, Kelce hinted at the latest The Pat McPhee Show Taylor Swift will be in attendance for the episode, which many fans speculate has become the team’s lucky charm. In the 20 games the pop star has played, Kansas City is 17-3, a winning percentage of 0.85. If you’re a Chiefs fan, you’ll be happy to take these odds.
To see if the “Taylor Swift Effect” will help the Chiefs conquer the Texans, here are various ways to watch this Saturday’s game.
