    I went to check the picks for the other matchups and I run into a TEXANS emblem. Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing..... I kinda of like being the underdog, even though to certain extent we still are. Especially since out of 14 people there is only 1 picking us to win. But still kind of caught me off guard, especially it being from Adam Schefter. Lets do it TEXANS!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not sure if its been posted, if it has been please lock it up.....

    As far as I know, Schefter has never been wrong.

    You see this a lot, guys would go against the majority opinion just to be different. If Texans lose then its no big deal, but if they win then he's standing on top of the mountain beating his chest.

    This is because Schefter picked the Texans to go to the Superbowl before the season started.

    He simply said he's not moving from his previous stance.

    Oh ok, I didn't know that. But either way, he doesn't think Texans will win. He probably believes they can just as many of us do, but if any of us had to bet some serious money, it would not be on the Texans.

    I would pick the Texans against the spread. Straight up it's hard but I have faith (I dont bet on the Rockets/Texans though. Too much emotion).

    To be fair, 7/12 of these "experts" picked us to lose against Cincy last week.

    Look what the Jets was able to do back in 2010 after getting embarrassed at Gillette Stadium to the tune of 45-3. We are a much better team than the Jets and you can rest assure, we're out for blood. Grown men do not like to be embarrassed like that, especially on national TV.

    Yep, Ray Lewis is a genius. Saves the announcement he's going to retire the week before their playoff game in order to motivate them to play harder during the playoffs.

    It's good to see Adam actually demonstrates the courage of his convictions.

    I think the Texans WILL beat the patriots. I think we all know around here that when Sactown makes a prediction it's usually right on the money. I haven't predicted much this year outside of basketball, but Sactown has spoken. The Texans will beat the Patriots and they will beat them soundly. The Texans will control ball possession, rough Tom Brady up, and build a solid lead early and coast to a 12 point victory.

    I would have to think long and hard to bet any serious money (not a couple dollars) that the Texans cover the spread. With that said I definitely would not bet they win straight up like Andy is saying. Even though I'm a die hard Texan fan (even in the losing yrs) I have to be honest and understand that we have not played like a playoff team in 6 weeks, and Patriots distroyed us the first go round. Now we have to play there again, I would feel better if it was here.
