Oct 25 SF @ Houston

Any guesses on how that game goes down? I'll be very curious to see how the Niners bounce back in Houston coming off their bye week.

SF will win.

This is a home game for the Texans. They are one of those teams that don't travel well, but take care of business at home. 49ers weakness was exposed yesterday. If the Texans can get a big lead early, the 49ers will have no shot at coming back.

tough to say. The Texans are the Cardinals of the AFC:

Dynamic offense with an awesome receiver; and a defense that given its talent, should be better than it is.

Take care of home like week 1?

The Texans have lost to the Jets and Jags at home.

That said, I think they beat the Niners.

49ers are over-rated!!

Not me. The Texans weakness is a strong D. Despite the 41 givin up yesterday to the very balance Falcons. I think the SF D is still pretty damned good and will be able to shut down the one dimensional Texans.

All the Texans have to do is put 10 in the box. There's no offensive creativity there.

My reasoning is that the Texans are not so lousy that they will continue to blow games against mediocre to poor teams at home.

Different take. The Falcons had two weeks to concentrate and focus on the Niner defense. They figured a way to expose their weaknesses and they exploited them. The blueprint is there for the Texans. If they can execute it, they can win. If you can score on the Niners early and often and force them to play catch up, you've got a good chance to beat them. That's what Atlanta did. If Roddy White can do it, Andre Johnson can IMO. Only big issue is the Texans offensive line. But they do know how to design protection packages unlike Russ Grimm.

Exactly!!!

 

[Shane]

Exactly!!!

So you mean a loss for the Texans like weeks 1 and 3 right???

Hell no. I will pick the Texans in my Pick 'em league that game, barring significant injuries.

Heck, I picked ATL to rock SF and I came out smelling like roses.

Im referring to your comment that they take care of the home building. When they already have two losses there.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Texans win 28-21, with a goal line stand.

Texans will beat 49ers...

I know...just messin with you. Houston will take care of "bidness" at home.
