I think both teams are resigned to the fact that both the Texans and Jags are winning this weekend, which would mean that the 5 seed is a wrap. In that case, they both know they aren't getting the AFCN winner, and the Pats are far more of an attractive opponent than the Jags at this juncture. Might as well rest up, hope the other guy accidentally wins, and you get the chance to take on New England instead of Jacksonville.
