No way Pats lay down in this game.  If things work out for Houston, there is a chance they face the Patriots in the first round of Playoffs.  27-23 Houston wins, but Pats Cover while Brady is pulled in 4th Quarter. 

Houston - 23                          New England - 17

Patriots +9                        under 46

A careful game.....Both teams play this one close to the vest.

Houston needing it, will be a little more inspired to win the game. Pats want to avoid any major injuries.

Hmmmm. Check this:

Updating a previous item, Tom Brady said Thursday that he expects to play the whole game in Houston this week.

Pats +9 large. Either im crazy or this spread is way wrong. NE wants this game in order to fine tune the offense before the playoffs. The starters will play most if not all of the game becuase their is a chance that NE could drop down a seed if they loose. This game is also important to Hou which is when I bet against them.

Yea joke, just like last week when they kicked the sh!t out of your Dolphins when they had to win. . .

 They kicked the shit out of Dolphins. I was actually at the game and that was flattest they have ever played under Sparano. I was happy to see them perserve and at least make the game competetive towards the end.

Anyways completely different circumstances. I like New England SU. GL this week.

Really don´t understand your point of view can change so BIG from one week to the next one. Last week you said the Pats aren´t good enough vs a team FULL of GARBAGE like the Jaguars

"Jags +8: no one is believing in the Jags while the Pats have sewn up the division. While New England is the better team, they're not good enough to be laying 8 points. Score: Jaguars 20-Patriots 18 (4 units)."

And you predict a  "NEW ENGLAND LOSE AT HOME" vs Garrard?

Now , only 6 days later you say the Patriots will win in Houston ??????????  27-21.

Brady could say he will play but.... who in the hell will remember this meaningless with the Texans when the playoffs start next weekend. They will only remember this game if some key player will miss the playoffs because this shitty game! Belichick  cant be stupid, the 1 st team only for the first half, period.

New England will cover? maybe, but win? No way, on the road with bench players in the final half of the game.
