Gronk is playing tonight according to NFLN. Hopefully, he'll get reduced snaps and not be too effective.

Hopefully, he reinjures the knee and is out until March.

That is not the Christmas spirit.

Ya, the Gronk-is-playing news has put a lot more money on the Pats as the spread has jumped to New England -6 at Bovada. Not a good sign for the Texans. He may play but I bet it is limited... This game just isn't that critical to New England to jeopardize Gronk's future availability..
