If not, then we should probably play the Texans game knowing we have to beat the tacks anyway.

Yes, there is a way. 
There's also a way I could win the lottery this weekend and the odds aren't that different. 

I'm afraid they have to play both games full bore to be certain though.

Yep, did a little research.  Winning this week combined with a week 18 loss to the tacks puts us back in a 6-way wild card race.  Depending on what happens with the Pats/Dolphins game, it may be a 5-way race.

I'm not saying play to lose against the Texans.  I'm on the record as always playing to win regardless of draft position, having unacceptable management or coaches I'd rather see fired, or if I'm going against our team in FF.  However, if we are going to win one game, the safe one to go for is the Tacks.  Which probably means Beathard after halftime.
