Ok, for fun I’ll make my guesses.

NE over Houston – Pats won’t even break a sweat

Pitt over KC – I would love to see the Chiefs win but I think Pitt has too much firepower.

Green Bay over Dallas – No Jordy Nelson hurts but I think Prescott finally shows he’s a rookie and Packers take ‘em out

Atlanta over Seattle – the Seahawks fan in me says Seattle and I think they have a better overall team and much more playoff experience but Seattle has been too inconsistant. You have no idea if the team that lost to GB...

Lets not forget the team that they are the team that lost to the Rams, 9 to 3.

The Rams.

This isn't going to be much of a game

So the Pats game is over....

 

[DinoDB1975]

Texans keeping it interesting.

Slightly.

 

[Grenouille]

This is feeling troublesome. The defense is going to be absolutely gassed.

 

[DinoDB1975]

If Watt comes back healthy, the trio of Mercilus, Clowney, and Watt would be ridiculous.

Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the Texans' QB issues.

The problem with the Texans rolling on defense right now is the offense is still crap and they aren't giving the defense any rest

Around the 4th qtr that Texans defense will get tired and then Brady could shred them

 

[Grenouille]

I'm not liking much about this game aside from the scoreboard. The OL looks terrible and is letting Houston own the A-Gap. Hopefully the Pats have a better second half in them.

The Patriots are VASTLY superior to the Texans. Having said that, you never want a young team to hang around and let them gain confidence.

I'm sure that Belichick is pressing the necessary buttons and making halftime adjustments. The first offensive series in the second half will be telling.

You notice that Lewis was running the ball in the first half. Maybe going bigger with Blount in the second half could be a needed adjustment

Houston needs a QB

Funny how an 18 point win can feel so underwhelming. They're going to need a much better effort next week no matter who comes to town.

If this was Vince Wilfork's last game he had a hell of career and hope to see him around Foxboro again.

Gotta love a team that doesn't play near its best in the playoffs and yet wins by 18 anyway.

Houston needs a QB

About 1/2 of the teams in the NFL can say that.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Well, New England got their "bad" game out of the way...if they had played like that against a better opponent, they may have been in trouble.

You had a WR (Fuller) drop a sure TD, and a QB who is careless with the ball and threw three interceptions. It's hard enough for a team to beat New England without any self-inflicted wounds.

Lackluster by the pats and they still put up 34. Interesting to see who comes to town next week

I'm hoping it's the Steelers. Ben was hurt and didn't play the Pats during their regular season meeting. I'd love to Tom vs Big Ben with a Super Bowl trip on the line.

The defenses will win or lose that game

Houston needs a QB

Seems like a decent QB has never worked for the Houston formula

David Carr
Schawb
A couple of back ups here in there in the seasons like Keenam

Now Brock

Maybe the McNair clan should fire the GM because it seems like every season they have no answer for the QB position

O'Brien was telling the media that his job is safe...but don't count on it

If they play like that and if it is Steelers, then I see the killer B's of Pittsburgh dominating and heading to the SB.

Bellichick is a master but Tomlin is one hell of a coach as well
