Keeping up offensively should not be an issue. In fact, it should be the other way around. We have an elite quarterback, 3 solid running backs, a deeper core of receivers, and two solid TE's.

The Texans have a second tier quarterback, Ben Tate, a banged up Derrick Ward(who is questionable), Arian Foster who will not play, (though all world) one receiver, and a pretty good tight end who has not found his groove yet.

We have the advantage offensively.

Don't let them make big plays on special teams and we should take this one.

Tate will get the start at RB, Foster is questionable and Ward is out. If Foster's hammy is OK, that could be a sick tandem.
We have excellent receiving TE's, the best WR in the NFL and a top 6 0r 7 QB.
We all know and respect the hell out of y'all's pass offense, but your running game isn't very well established yet. I do like your RB's even if Ingram hasn't made a lot of noise yet. Sproles can be a nightmare out of the backfield.
Schaub can get a little antsy under pressure, so how well we pick up the blitz will be HUGE.
This game will come down to defenses and turnovers. It may very well be won by the team that has the ball last.
