GAME DAY. I'm flying to Vegas in a few hours for a business trip. Will be rocking my Texans gear on the strip tonight. Anyone know a good sports book to watch the game at? I'll be in the Luxor/Mandalay Bay area. Texans 23 Bears 17
Assuming the Texans can limit turnovers (like they've done thus far this season), I think that they should match up well against the Cover 2. All those games playing against the Colts and their Cover 2 has proved to me that Kubiak and his offense can move the ball and control the clock against this defense. Obviously, the elements will come into play, and the Bears DL is built differently than the Colts DL was with Freeney and Mathis, but having said that, if the Texans can control the LOS and give Foster room to run and Schaub time to work underneath against Briggs/Urlacher, I think they'll have a good showing. Should be an interesting game to see how it plays out, but I hope the guys go up there amped up but confident that they can compete and play well on a big, national stage. EDIT: Found the Playbook preview of this game: link
I think special teams will be a factor but I really think it will come down to defense. I think our defense against their offense has an edge over their defense against our offense.
MortReport: Owen Daniels injury is back of the hip. May work out at hotel and then pre-game. Game time decision. Great desire to play, coming back to hometown of Chicago.
