ANALYST INSIGHT
|
|||||||
|
The only way that Houston has a chance to win here is if it can
somehow create a turnover and jump out to a big lead early. The Texans then
can utilize their powerful running game with RB Arian Foster and control the
clock. Otherwise the Pats will likely pass HOU to death yet again – D.
BILICKI
Not often do you find a 13 win team, without any significant
injuries, to be this big of an underdog – R. THE HANDLE

FINAL PREDICTION

SU
|
vs
SPR
|
HOU (+9.5)
|
||||
|
The Texans have not forgotten how badly they were beaten by the
Pats at Foxborough no less than a month ago and are sure to be intent on not
allowing history to repeat itself in primetime. With that in mind, expect the
Brady-Belichick duo to make another bid for a Super Bowl crown with a win
this weekend at home vs a formidable, yet fundamentally flawed, foe. The HOU
secondary has simply been unable to contain opponent pass onslaughts of late
and, in spite of all their offensive fireworks, will surely succumb to the
prowess of two-time Super Bowl MVP NE QB Tom Brady in the clutch on the East
Coast this weekend. At home, in a position they are greatly accustomed to, NE
is as good a bet as they come in terms of a win.
