texans clinch the afc south . . .in week 14?

[cadams]

well, if the texans can pull off a win this weekend in cincinatti, and new orleans takes care of business in tennessee, then the texans will clinch the afc south this weekend.

seems weird saying that.

Win or lose, I'm hoping they take advantage of these remaining four games to keep working on the education of young Mr. Yates. He needs all the experience he can get before the playoff bullets start firing...

Bengals currently 1 to 3 pt favorites over the Texans...

I won't be doubting the Texans again anytime soon as I did vs the Falcons in yesterdays game, but on the other hand I don't expect the Saints to beat the Titans this coming Sunday.
NOLA reminds me a lot of the Oilers in the glory days of Warren Moon and their high flying run-and-shoot offense: they could beat anybody and often by large margins in their dome-stadium but on the road, that high-powered passing-game often sputtered outside in the elements and they were simply a different sort of team. After all the Titans QB has already beaten the Saints this year when they went on the road to play his former team in the past seasons playoffs up in Seattle. And the Titans are playing pretty good lately with Chris Johnson seemingly having found his groove again.

i will be shocked if nola loses this weekend.

Tennessee is a trap game for the Saints - a non-conference opponent they get coming off two straight prime time home night games. Saints may still win but I'm guessing they won't be sharp.

i am guessing they will be in a simiar to the texans this weekend, meaning if they win they will have a shot to clinch the nfc south.
