After watching these teams play yesterday, I personally have to admit that I think the Texans will be a tough team to beat, even tougher than 49ers. Both teams will supply great defensive matchups with the Patriots but I still think we will be able to score on either one but its the defenses.

49ers has that tough, stiffling defense that pretty much just stops teams in their tracks. Texans has a defense where they can really rush the passer and create turnovers and then score on offense. I hear the "we're at home" and "we are playing two teams that aren't used to to cold weather" talk but defense travels, point blank.

With this being said, which matchup are you most looking forward too? Do you think we win both (back-to-back), lose one, win one or lose both? As I stated, the Texans scare me much more than the 49ers.

Slow down, dude. 6-3 Colts and Andrew Luck are coming to town on Sunday followed by a quick turnaround on Thanksgiving Day against the Jets. It's way too soon to worry about the Texans and the 49ers.

I think we can win both. Both teams are beatable. I wonder how long Smith will be out with his concussion.

I say the Texans. Both teams have a great running game, both teams have a great defense (though slightly different styles to get there). The Texans ALSO have a pretty good passing game, where San Fran is less consistent there due to the QB. Both teams are tremendous challenges though, and will give us a true barometer for this team's chances in the playoffs.

Houston got blown out by an elite GB offense. Not worried there.

49ers O can be stopped.

Falcons can be stopped with good game planning.

I'm only scared of three teams in the NFL - NO, GB, and Giants.

All three have offenses loaded with talent that can make plays no matter what you take away.

After watching last nights game, I am really impressed with the Texans D. Everyone knew what the bears d was doing this year but to see the texans play like that at soldier field was very impressive. I am more worried about them, as well as they are in the AFC. If we don't win, that pretty much means we dont get a bye as we have already lost to the Ravens.

I think we will beat both but i think the 49ers will be a tougher outing. The 49ers offense sucks but their defense is so fundamentally sound. Texans offense is good but they won't destroy us and worst case scenario they will look similar to the bills on offense.

The Texans are so proud of their pass rush but i think they won't get home against us. JJ is special but we will shut him down the same way we do all of the other great pass rushers like mario, peppers, freeney, miller, etc. Our tackles are just too good and brady doesnt hold on to the ball long. What we have to worry about is him batting down balls.

Yeah, I thought about this as well. I think BB will find someway to nullify Watt, he absolutely has too if we have any chance in this game.

Agreed but honestly, neither of these teams will be a "barametor" for the playoffs, these are wins that are more likely than the teams I'm discussing.

It's not too early... Those matchups are around the corner and there's a lot of improvement needed before those games.
