Re: Texans fans not overly confident they can beat the Patriots
They seem pretty superstitious down there about this one.
This comes down to a few key matchups and how much injuries have thinned the depth in key areas - particularly the Patriots' receiving corps and offensive line, and the Texans' linebackers and secondary.
The Texans' offense has to keep up in this one, because that defense is not going to stop the Patriots from scoring points. It will be interesting to see if the Pats' D is any good, or just a mirage since the competition has been mediocre for the last several weeks.
It would be nice to see the Patriots' OL back to near full strength, but who knows? The signing of two OL to the Practice Squad is a bad omen.
The weather is not cooperating. This one was supposed to be a nasty weather game to really test the Texans, but it looks like it will be warm and wet.
