Houston is going to get enough pressure on Manning to cause some mistakes and will be able to capitilize with its running of Slaton. Houston's D-line and their running game will be the factors...
Houston wins by double digits
Under Phi/Was 41 1/2
Banged up Westbrook will play, Philly still has no speed on the outside so long drives w/short passes will grind out the clock while they have the ball...Wash will get blitzed often as is Jimmy Johnson's wont, and it'll end up 16-13 20-13 ish.
San Fran +3
Line here doesn't make sense...I figure the public will hammer NE at only a fg, but it seems they can't score enough to put teams away currently. If that is the case, SF will be able to run Frank Gore for all 4 quarters and wear down NE's old D. Gore gets 35 carries, runs for +150 and SF wins by a touchdown.

Well I thought Denver was gonna destroy KC last week. I will say that up front. Now I am wondering how Houston is going to beat Indy. Houston sucks. But maybe they will be so amped up to play at home they will somehow win. But on paper they suck.

There are some intangibles that should be remembered: The roof will be open (because of Hurricane Ike) with the temp being 82 feels like 85. A few yrs ago the Texans thought they would be cute and keep the roof open to throw off the Steelers and got destroyed by the Steelers. First game since Hurricane Ike so emotions will be high Shaub is still playing to keep from being benched to Rosenfels.

You're talking about the Colts of the past few years...Their OL is wrecked w/ injuries, Manning isn't 100% and they have no Bob Sanders....I agree Texans are extremely inconsistant and their QB probably shouldn't be starting, but matchup wise, their D-line should be up the field the whole game and they should be able to run the ball all day on the Colts shitty run D.
