    When the NFL improves how guardian caps look, more players will adopt them.

    Texans are getting in playoff form early with these tight Ws

    If Collins is out these 4 games it will be a challenge because the Jets/Pats defense will present problems with their talent....but with Stroud you always got a shot, but the Oline needs to set tone and be better overall

    Now if Mixon comes back for this stretch then it would help out the offense a lot being the physicality he brings and dual threat, and the play action that could unleash 'Deep Threat Dell'

    Plus those division games are always close for most part

    7-2 when the smoke clears

    • Pats and Jets are legit terrible. I'm penciling those in as W's. Sorry not sorry.

    • Colts aren't particularly good either, and we should def win that one, but at least it's a division rivalry game so you never know.

    • Packers didn't look good last week but they're a solid team regardless imo.

    • Could easily see 4-0, but I'm going to predict 3-1 with the only loss coming against Green Bay.

    • Texans are a top-5 team in the NFL. We haven't even played well in a single game and we're still 4-1. This team is good, just needs to clean up on the penalties and get a couple guys healthy we'll be just fine.

    I’m worried about facing you guys in 2 weeks I can’t lie. Homefield might help a little.

    I had that one penciled in as a loss at the start of the season but we will see, I do like Jordan Love, the kid has poise. Do you think it will be "cold" (I consider cold in HTown to be 60 LOL) for the game? I would love to take in a game there, just for the history and nostalgia but dam do they still have the steel benches, or do they now have individual seats?

    Firing Saleh is not going to solve anything. Jets problem is offense not defense. And they still have the same players and same play calling. Perhaps they might get a couple games of inspired play from the coaching change, but thats it.

    No it’s still steel benches. By then I think daytime highs will be in the 50s. It will be somewhat chilly. I’ve been to 5 games total. It’s no fun sitting on steel benches.

    This team is yet to play a "clean" game, and they are 4-1. That's something. They need an infusion of "smart" play calling, reduction is penalties, and overall discipline and coordination. They too often look like they are not on the same page.

    None of the games scare me individually, but streaks do. It's a combination of any given Sunday (week), anything can happen. Bad calls, injuries, illness and game planning can upset probability.

    Since KC and MIN do not play in the regular season, both will likely be favored in all remaining games. But I would bet against either winning them all, if I were a gambling man. [ I guess I'm technically a gambling man since I occasionally play the lottery when it gets over 500M. But not sports.]

    This individual does this on nearly every fan forum. This individual will basically say the Packers suck and the opposing team is great. He has some issues. Lonely and wanting you to be his friend. Never has stepped foot in Wisconsin. Not an actual Packers fan.

    When you read this little guy, move along, or I will post what you really are.

    Sorry for the need for this post, but I have dealt with this individual on countless NFL and other related sites.

    The Packers fear no one, but respect all opponents.

    I'm interested to hear what the reasoning is to think the Packers are a cakewalk game.

    I have not watched the Texans much this season, but will watch some All-22 film this week. Do respect the coaching staff. Think Stroud is a #10 QB. J-Love is also there, if not top 5. The knee injury did not help this season, but he is back to 100% now. Packers D is rounding into form as well, under new D coordinator Jeff Hafley.

    Should be a fantastic game. I will be at Lambeau in my club seats on the 42 yard line on the visitors side of the field.

    Love is solid, top 12ish QB. Clearly not on Stroud’s level.
    Should be a fun evenly matched game

    Packers are favorites and this should be a good game. Definitely a tough place to play but I would imagine Demeco has them ready. HOU 31, GB 28

    Other than the O. P, nobody thinks this is a cakewalk . Mckinney or Simmons should have been a Texan.

    Have not watched J-Love play much I see. I realize you sort of are trolling, but we shall see who shines Sunday. Yes, will be a fun game.

    No, I’ve watched most of his games. Just an unbiased opinion. It’s also the overwhelming sentiment, Love is not on Strouds level.
    I understand you have your rose colored glasses on, but it just is what it is.
