Discuss here. Should be a great one.

Really looking forward to this

Huge game, but a win tonight only puts more pressure on the Patriots to perform again 6 days later against a damn good SF team. I guess it's time to start checking this team for that special ability to turn it on when the weather gets cold.

edit: Wow. We are a 5 point favorite? With a 3 point standard advantage, that means we'd only be +1 at Houston? Seems kind of shocking to me that Vegas has so little confidence in a very strong Texans team.

I think the Patriots win this game, but I'm rooting for the Texans. I doubt the Colts stand much of a chance against the Texans starters, but if they can secure homefield advantage they may play their backups for the final game against the Colts, which could give the Colts a good chance to win.

But when in doubt, pick the team with the better quarterback, and that's the Pat's by far.

I'm surprised everyone is favoring the Pats so much. Brady might be the better QB, but Schaub could easily have the better statistical performance.

I'm pretty confident the Pats can stop Foster. We'll see how well Talib can play Andre Johnson.

I don't know what our OL situation is going to look like. If Mankins, Connolly, and Vollmer don't play - Brady might have a JJ Watt sized chunk removed from him.

[Colts Homer]

Go Patriots! Now excuse me while I go throw up.

I'm gonna miss this one cause I'm going to see NOFX (eat a dick Arcade). Hopefully this game sucks.

JJ Watt. 'Nuf said.

I hope Houston wins for future degenerate gambling reasons.
