Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Thursday Night Football

I think it’s 24 sacks in 8 games? Not that the pass rush is awesome, but I think it’ll be more than 1 sack.

I think we’ll see a lot of two TE sets tonight. I expect Brown to get help…a lot of it as he normally does.

I originally thought 34-20…then 34-23….then 34-24……34-27 was what I said on Twitter a few hours back…..I’m getting closer to calling a Houston win. I almost feel like calling it because everyone’s calling a Philly Beatdown. I expect it to be much closer than people are expecting. The Texans have everything they need to win. Still calling Eagles 34-27, but the optimism is growing.

I do NOT want to be rocking my Texans shame tomorrow.

NATIONAL TV!

FACING A MOBILE QB!!

TEXANS WI……damn.

Eagles 52
Texans 35

is owen daniel for sure out this game, i read that he was questionable

Texans win turnover battle, 38-34 texans

Texans lose turnover battle, 42-27 eagles

Even on turnovers, 34-24 eagles

We need to create some and not make any. I’m not optimistic, but if titans fans can spell words with more than six letters, than anything truly IS possible

I’m going 38-34 dog lovers

Hell, I predicted Texans couldn’t stop screen passes to CJ last week. I’ve bet my life on that.

The Eagles like to blitz so I’m guessing Schaub will fumble once and Winston will recover the ball. Just like last week.

Kevin Walter will have a big game. 6 recs, 80+ yards, 1 td

Texans 37 Eagles 34

And it’s only that close because of a garbage time touchdown.

And this is me being optimistic.

I know you have serious defensive woes but I wouldn’t count the Texans out of ANY game.

Can be had tonight especially if Reid get ‘pass-happy’ as he is prone to do and the Eagles defense doesn’t play better.

Key to this game is the red zone. Eagles have really struggled the last 2 weeks in the red zone and they haven’t stopped anybody in the red zone this year on defense. 27th in the league allowing teams to score TDs at a 77% clip.

Texans’ secondary may stink too but the Eagles without Samuel/Hobbs aren’t much better. Allen really leveled off since he has come back form an injury, Mikell has a terrible game last week vs. Bears, and the RCB is a wasteland because Hanson is simply too slow to play outside and Lindley was giving more cushion last week than a plus sofa. Eagles should win this game because it should be a high-scoring game. I just can’t see the Eagles’ defense holding the Texans to anything less than 24 pts tonight. Probably a bit more.

Wiliams doesn’t have a big night simply because Peters has been playing a Pro-Bowl caliber level since he came off his knee injury. He has been dominant against Freeney, Carter, and Umenyiora. Even did a pretty damn good job last week on Peppers who is the best defensive end I have seen this year vs. Eagles besides maybe Tuck.

Johnson on the other hand . . . don’t see how he doesn’t have at least 7 catches, 110+ yds, and a TD tonight.

Tacos or Pizza?

Mario Williams: 6.5 sacks in 4 prime-time games.

Just a feeling. I’m also feeling a Texans upset. After my first beer brings me down to reality, I’ll probably feel stupid for posting this.

for both squads. It’s time to deliver as professionals, to close the season with a statement and carry momentum into the playoffs.

The Texans finally have the scheme and personnel dialed in, and all the bugs shaken out for those who had 4 game vacations, and the rookies have seen some of the toughest clocktime in history. They show up, and drop the hammer with authority and pull all the pre-season hype out of the grave and put it squarely on the front burner again for the sports media to debate all next week.

The Eagles come out pissed about last week’s loss to the Bears, but also with more swagger than would be advisable and shift from those emotions into frustration, shock and awe at the Texan’s dominance and unravel on the world stage to give sports media even more material to chew through going into week 14.

Texans 28, Eagles 24

Texans 5-0 in games below 40 degrees

just sayin’….
