Official Texans @ Jets Game Thread, 11/21/2010

[Nconroe]

Well, in their last four games, Jets are 3-1, loosing to Greenbay9-0, and narrow wins over Denver24-20, Detroit23-20 overtime, and Cleveland26-20 in overtime.

Houston is averaging 373 yds/game on offense to Jets 362.

But, on defense, Texans are giving up an average of 410 yds/game compared to much less 307 yds given up per game by Jets. That is like 57 yds/game more than they gave up last year, so really on a defensive slide right now. wish we had such a problem.

Apparently best to attack Jets defense in middle of field with TE's since their CB's are pretty good, but LB's a little slow relatively speaking. And, they have to blitz to get a pass rush this year so that opens some plays maybe to Arian. But they are tough against the run.

On offense, Jets are a running team mostly averaging 150.7 yds/game, so we shall see, maybe they will be overconfident.

Texans offense needs to start out quickly, no turnovers, and control the clock, which it can do.

Defense, Texans, I think try to play eight in the box to control the run early , pressure Sanchez on passes, and make sure every receiver is covered tight.

So, based on that I'll wishfully pick Texans in the upset, not betting on it, 27-24, leading throughout the game.
