    Atlanta is about as inconsistent as we are. They've accomplished nothing and they've had a good QB for a while now. I'm not afraid of them, even on their turf. So I don't see a blowout, but it's going to be hard to go in there and get a win.

    Atlanta is inconsistent, but we aren't.

    We are very consistent so far being mediocre to bad.

    What's wrong with the TEs on the team? Are they not getting open? Not blocking? Dropping passes? QB/coach doesn't trust them?

    Texans win the game by playing a great defense, so far we have not done that yet.

    We will win now since we just got a new kicker.

    He'll put this weak-ass offense into a higher gear and lead us to victory.

    Texans - 21 (7 FG's)
    Falcons - 0

    I think we could be less likely to win due to the change at kicker. I don't trust our special teams coverage enough to think that going with a guy that doesn't have the leg strength to kick it in the end zone is a good thing.

    I think Alshon is young enough to where they might keep him for the rebuild.

    I'm not a fan of Matty Ice, I think he's the ultimate form of a game manager. But as of this moment Julio Jones is the best WR in the league, and is just straight dominating teams. Atlanta's defense is very suspect, especially against the run. If we get the same kind of production from our running backs(which with Foster coming back potentially I think we will) we will have a shot. We gotta stop Julio though, something no one has done this season yet.

    I think this game could potentially be high scoring and closer than outside observers think. I still think the Falcons will squeak by due to playing at home but I do like our chances

    Unless your other receivers are AJ Green, Antonio Brown, and Megatron, when are you NOT starting Julio Jones? :eek:

    Arian returns for a 154 rushing yards, 7 receptions for 68 yards and 3 total TD type of day. Texans win 31 - 17
