Indy squeaks by Texans. Indy O-line neutralizes Hou. Road team each won during season, trend continues.

Cow-dingleberries beat Sea-chickens. Seattle are a different team away from their Fake Noise Stadium and Dallas plays better in Jerah World.

If at some point during the game Pete the Cheat trips and gets his gum stuck in his nostril I'll be a happy man.

Indianapolis@ Houston- Houston. They have the better Defense and they're at home

Seattle@ Dallas- Dallas. It's not wise to bet against Jerry Jones in his own house.

L.A. Chargers@Baltimore-L.A.Chargers. This one was tough to pick The Chargers have a playoff experienced QB. Lamar Jackson is good, but don't know if he's ready for the big stage yet.

Philadelphia@Chicago- Philadelphia. This is my upset of the week. The Eagles have been hot as of late. They did go into L.A. and Houston and beat the Rams and Texans who are some of the top teams this year. The Bears have a good defense but Mitchell Trubisky has no playoff experience .

Watson and the Texans are choking.

Don’t look now, but Indy has $122 million in cap space next year too.

Young QB's are likely to choke against veteran QB's. That's why having a true veteran like we have in Brees is so important. Look at the QB's remaining. The only one in the NFC with any experience is Russell Wilson. None of the other worry me. In the AFC my biggest concern would be Philip Rivers. Maybe Luck the way he's looking now. Brady ... not so much anymore.

Yikes. That's incredible. That must be without Luck....right?

The Texans aren't very good.

Shows how weak Texans schedule has been. This is there 1st game this season against a team with a .500 record or better.

Colts looking like a solid AFC contender; Wouldn't be surprised if Super Bowl
had same two teams as SB XLIV.

Quenton Nelson is a very impressive rookie O lineman. He's really had Clowney's number today.

Looking at end of season record they played twice against Titans and colts, played Philly, Dallas, and New England.

They're 3-4 against ranked teams. Not overwhelming

Adding to that, their 2nd round pick RT Braden Smith from Auburn has been fantastic too. He played RG in college but the Colts put him at tackle and now they’re all set.

Deshaun Watson is in the same position Luck was in a few years ago. No offensive line, limited weapons, and an inconsistent running attack.

The Colts have looked good, but Houston has looked equally bad. I believe Indy has a good team, but it's hard to measure them watching this game. Houston has been all but inept.

+1. Hard to win at this level with a bad O line.

Watson needs help upfront.

Yep, you nailed it Rez.


It isn’t sexy drafting O-Line highly but man does it pay off.

Look at the ram and Peat picks coupled with the Unger trade and Warford signing. We completely retooled our line in like 2 years I think it was. And remember the year before we traded for unger how bad our interior was?

I live in Houston and get more exposure to the Texans than I would like. My personal observation is that they have always reminded me of the Falcons... Even if they have all the right pieces and can dominate the regular season, they dont have the ability to not choke in the post season. Most of the time it seems their coaching cant rise to the next level of play calling.

Seahawks or Cowboys fellas? I might call in a bet real quick.

My gut is saying Seahawks. I’m waiting for Dak Prescott to fold like he would always do at Mississippi State.

I think seapigeons will win although Dallas is capable of beating them

I think one of Jerry's Refs is in Seattle for a reason.

Agreed. There is fractures and breaks ... his ankle literally broke.

That's a serious injury. Hopefully his career isn't over.
