The Texans achilles heel is their pass defense (ranking 19th in the league). If JJ Swat isn't batting them down, the odds are that pass is getting completed. I think you can attribute this to Jonathan Joseph being out for such a big chunk of the year. He is listed as questionable, but I'm not sure if he will be a 100% either way.
The Texans are an impressive 6-0 on the road this year. Its so tough to win on the road in this league, especially at New England. The Pats haven't lost at home since that fluke game against Arizona in week 2. I think Belicheck will have his defense ready to stop the Texans offense that relies primarily on the playaction. The playaction is really only effective when a team is running the ball well. I think the Pat's 9th ranked rush defense will come to play in a Monday night setting, and that Houston might find themselves in 3rd and long situations quite a bit on Monday night.
My prediction is the Patriots hand the Texans their first road loss, and that Belicheck tries to send a message like he did to the Colts earlier this year. He definitely likes big statement wins over teams that he will possibly see again in the playoffs. Obviously, I don't think this will be a huge blowout. But it wouldn't shock me if the Pats won this by 13 or more points.
Not too often you can get the Pats -3 at home without the public being all over them!! I will be more than happy to bet New England for my first time this season.
Good luck!
Finally, someone spreadin real insights.....while you jerkboys are tugawarin' with Brady's DingDong, my mans Ace actually spitin knowledge. Wha...did he say BELICHEK....wha did he say BELICHEK STATEMENTS...wha he said Belicheck statements MNF national stage statement.
vs Colts this year--- agreed statement made. Back to back 50burgers--statement statement. vs Miami #1 Run Def.... statement with run lopsided play calling... Brady is just a robot, it's been proven already that even Matt Cassel the worst starting QB will look great....KC ownership will tell you it ain't QB talent it's Belicheck outcompeting his opposing counterpart. Oh and NE is ranked #1 in defense.....unless you a smuck that puts yards allowed above FF, 3rd/redzone performance, INTs. J.J. Watt can't impact games vs 5 man cohesive single O-line unit. That O-line looks like the oldschool sterio equalizer presets. Like 10 differents hands get put on every DL player on every play. If you ain't facin Belicheck 2 a year for the last decade, you ain't coverin a damn thing... and even then you lose by 40+ this year. This team was built to not miss a beat facing the injury bug as go 3-4 deep at all positions, but when you see Pat Chung out there Chungin fools you know their Def is healthiest as can be.
peep game Aceman https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/drivestats2012 NE Def currently Major Adv of Houst.
...MNF Statement by Belichecky MostDef will be his NE def his new group that could even pee straight last year is now know on the door of Greatness....
While u chumps accept mainstream YDs allowed rankings criteria, I'll take these TO,FF,FR,INT, and REDZone criteria that put BELCHIK's unite on a whole nutha level.
Does nobody see where this D is going but me an ACE:
Think about it...
Jerod Mayo=Bruski, even LB Ted Johnson was a Nikovich LB before he lined up with is huge shoulder pads one Superbowl day as Belchick answer to stopping Curt Warners ridiculous offensive machine called 'the greatest show on turf'.
Even using conventional ranking criteria how good do you need to be to go from last play Def Ranks to top 10 over 5 weeks. Kubiak is the greatest West Coast Off Coach ever to emerge, but Belchick been stompin out the whole Walsh family tree for decades now. Oh -4 will cover by 10 or more when adjusting for CB/LB injuries on Houst, TalebTye Law an already shut down corner has been Belichean School of Hard Knox for almost a month now which continually makes those those safteties more power run stopper forces, and finally the key core strength of Texans RBs of zone blocking cut back running sounds like a jokey joke vs NE. yeah sure just chop blck on the backside for the cut back lane. Feeling sorry for these futile attempts to get VWilford on his behind, the refs let you cut block this fire hydrant bc he aint never going down and his legs just grind the back cutter into the NE turf. Image running over a dog....
Belichek MON NIGHT = extra night of preparing while opposing coaches lose more ground by sleeping another night....
AND bestoluck guy who pointed out Brady can't throw past 10 yards....is that even required in his job description. But those 'ducks' to Moss could one be called before the Offense crossed midfield and everytime the 'duck' forced Moss out that back endzone at full speed but never force him out. Belicheck milked the underneath 20+ yard completions for like 5 weeks off one of those ducks though.
NE 65 Hous 27 and Hous Def actually plays good enough to win.
