The Houston Texans are AFC South champions, and after a storybook regular season, their attention now shifts to the playoffs.

Houston enters the postseason as the No. 4 seed out of the AFC, and it is set to face the Cleveland Browns in the NFL's Super Wild Card Weekend.

Sporting News recently released its set of playoff power rankings complete with current betting odds to win the Super Bowl, and the Texans come in at No. 10 on the list out of 14 teams.

10. Houston Texans, AFC No. 4 seed (+4500)

The Texans have a chance to win at home in the wild-card round despite getting blown out by the Browns in Houston in Week 16 with C.J. Stroud back. He is an offensive game-changer, but the issue for the Texans is the consistency of the defense, especially against the run and downfield pass.

Houston's odds of +4500 to win the Super Bowl are worse than Cleveland's mark of +2800, and the Browns come in at No. 9 on this power rankings list.

The Texans last faced the Browns in Week 16, falling 36-22 while quarterback C.J. Stroud was in concussion protocol.

Houston and Cleveland are scheduled to face off on Saturday at 3:30 p.m., and the game will be televised on NBC.
