Beatdown II, the sequel.

The Hoodie.............

Brady.........

9.5?

Done.........

After years of betting, nobody could convince me otherwise..........

Good Luck Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!

I see Houston coming into this game and giving the Pats all they can

handle.

The Pats are not all that great on the defensive side of the ball(Ranked 26th),and can be scored on.

Houston is ranked 7th on both sides of the ball,so expect a close game here.

I just donot see the Pats blowing Houston out.

In addition,you don't know how the Pats are going to come out after

a bye week.

I know it helps for the injured players,but the week off can also

affect their timing.

Taking Houston with the points.

PATS AREN'T GREAT ON D AND YET ONLY ALLOWED 14 AGAINST HOUSTON INCLUDING LAST SECOND GARBAGE TD.  ON THE OTHER SIDE, TEXANS GAVE UP . . . 42.

NE

i'm all over the Pats at -9.5.
also looking to bet Gronk's receptions as i see brady hitting him early and often.

AUTO-FADING Texans.  Schaub vs. Brady in a big game...
Don't over think this.  NEXT.

Texans +9.5 they keep in the game.

of course i'm taking HOU  + under

WAS HOPING TO SEE THE TEXAN OFFENSE COME BACK TO LIFE LAST WEEK. . .DIDN'T SEE IT.

PATS -9.5

Pats all day. And you heard it here first.... PATS DEFENSE WILL SHINE

Anyone who thinks this is going to be a replay of their last game Is sadly mistaken.Revenge game for Houston.Cheater Belichickgoes down and karma is a b.i.t.c.h.Bill.Taking Houston plus 9.5 and 15.5 with my Falcon plus 5

Pats roll with a rested Gronk and healed Hernandez... 

 

bottom line, Houston won't be able to score with the Pats. 

 

I think they cruise passed 9.5

 

GL TO ALL!

so what are we looking at here? 



if i had to guess... i would say the final tally for total bets on this game will look something like this (in terms of quantity, not amount)...


Patriots:  87%
Texans:  13%




yea i'm sure the 87% are right...

needless to say (should be, anyway)... this is the ONLY post on this entire thread that actually makes an attempt at handicapping this football game, rather than just reflecting a gambler's mentality...



this game will not come close to resembling the first game... anyone who thinks it will, is not cut out for this game...

yea  9.5 points is a lot  anything can happen on any givin day   going with HOUSTON  gl guys 

Very well said!  Unlike the Patriots are accustomed to blowing out opponents during the season, they usually "barely" get by in the playoffs. Pats by 10-12 pts.

NEW ENGLAND  - 9.5

HOUSTON + 9.5    LARGE  ?

ALL ABOARD  THE  W8 CABOOSE  OR TRYCICLE IF YOU PREFER !!! LMFAO !!!! WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM A HOUSTON HOMER !!!

I see Foster and the offensive line coming out and controlling the clock, keeping Brady off the field and grinding out a close game. I don't see the Texans playing the way they did last time in New England.

I don't think it's unreasonable the Texans win in this spot but definitely think 9 is too many points with the way they can run the ball and eat clock.

Texans +9

WHEN IS THE LAST TIME THE TEXANS RAN THE BALL EFFECTIVELY?  THEIR OFFENSE IS HORRID RIGHT NOW AND THEY ARE MISSING CUSHING ON DEFENSE.  THIS TEAM HAS SPIRALED DOWNWARD SINCE THAT LOSS. 

AND AS I RECALL WATCHING THEIR LAST MEETING, HOUSTON DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO STOP BRADY.  WHY?  BECAUSE THEY DON'T MATCH UP WITH THE PATS, AND NOW THAT GRONK IS HEALTY, THIS IS ANOTHER BEATDOWN IN THE MAKING.
