The dysfunctional Texans take to the road this weekend to take on the New York Football Jets. The lucky and good Jets are currently 7-2 and boast a #11 Offense and a #5 Defense (both total yards). The Texans are #5 in offense and (thanks to the Redskins giving up nearly 600 yards last night to Vick's Eagles) #31 in Defense. The Texans really, really need a "W".
TV = CBS (Channel 11 local), 12 noon Sunday
Announcers = Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf
Interesting stuff at the link above: Just about all of America gets the late CBS game of Indy vs. New England (Nantz/Simms). Fox gives Houston the late New Orleans game instead of the early Dallas game - rare occurence.
Opening line = Jets by 6.5
Current line = Jets by 7 to 7.5
