The jersey combos are announced before the season starts. Go to the texans website and you can see every jersey combo for every game.
Especially ESPN, and you are right, just about everybody else including a good number in this thread. I think the teams are rather evenly matched, and it is likely going to be a close game; however, I think the Texans are the better overall team. Now if they choke and have a "dud" game then they are going to get creamed; however, if they bring their "A" game, New England is going down.
Arian Foster needs 98 rushing yards to reach 1,200 for the third consecutive season.

I don't know why it's bias for people to pick NE. They are at home. And despite their early season troubles, they are currently playing as well as any team in the NFL. Their injuries on offense are basically offset by injuries on our defense. Without Cushing and a stable pass rush, they can certainly attack various weaknesses. If Joseph is mostly healthy, I see this as a pick-em. If not, the vegas line of 3.5/4 seems fair.
Man, hard to see us pulling this out with the Pats running a pass-heavy offense that would be our kryptonite with a healthy secondary. Still, gotta believe in my team! Texans 31 Pats 28
I know a lot of you hate ESPN but I thought this was a good breakdown of the game from Tedy Bruschi. Tedy has showed the Texans love all season when I have seen him on TV. Also, the amount of coverage this game is getting, it really is one of the biggest games in franchise history. I hope we win and show the world this team has arrived. http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/page/bruschibreakdown-1206/bruschi-breakdown-new-england-patriots-houston-texans-monday-night-football-worthy-all-hype
The closer to the game we get the more it looks like it will be raining during the game. This is a good thing for us. Brady will not be throwing the ball as much in the rain. If we can stack the box and get pressure on Brady and stop the run we will win this game. I think it will be lower scoring than people are predicting due to the weather. Texas 24 Pats 21
yes, we play under optimal conditions at home. but don't kid yourself. this team is tailor-made for bad weather. the Patriots better home the skies clear for Brady to throw all over us.
Maybe its's just me but I feel weather does not affect Toms play. The guy has such a rocket for an arm nothing can slow down his passes, except for the SWATT team! Texans win a nail bitter, 31-28.
Personally rain is a bad thing for us...bc Brady knows how to use his field...Often times there are slick spots on the edges that only a home team would know...Lloyd and Welker are two of the most shifty receivers in the game, one slip and i can see our DB's falling all over the place...That said...If the Texans can shut down the run...we have a chance...
I'm about to head to the airport, get on that plane to Boston, and represent Houston to the fullest. Let's go Texans!!
