I could see this game going the way of the Jets game last year but in a shoot out. Texans squeak one out by 4 points Edit: this has a lot to do with my doubts about Foster's health.
Houston should put a hurting on San Diego as I see the Chargers being one of the bottom feeding teams (along with the Raiders, Jaguars, Jets and Eagles) in the NFL this year. There is not much to get excited about with the Chargers as they have no running game and Gates as the only viable option in the passing game. Defensively they do not stand out against the run or pass so Houston should be able to pick them apart however they want to. San Diego 10 Houston 31
The Texans website has a live feed up for Kubiak's press conference: http://www.houstontexans.com/tv-med...Thursday/0307ed04-75e7-41b9-8002-df57dd16b447 It should start at around 1:25.

It's the first game of the season! Who give af how many points they win by, this is the first chance to see them in real action. You call yourself a fan.

Daryl Sharpton has a concussion?? My God, what has to happen for this guy to be healthy enough to actually see real game time?? It's becoming downright comical at this point.
