Default Official Texas @ Bills Game Thread, 12/06/2015

The 6-5 Texans will shuffle off to Buffalo to take on the 5-6 Bills this Sunday in an early game. The Bills are coming of three road games in a row and lost their last two games of that set, @ New England (20-13) and most recently @ Kansas City (30-22). No rain and high 40šs are predicted for Buffalo on Sunday.

The Texans will attempt to keep a string of four wins in a row going but will surely face a determined Rex Ryan-led Bills squad. The Texans are 6-5 ATS and the Bills are 4-6-1 ATS.

----------------------------------------------------

TV = CBS (channel 11 local), noon CST, Sunday, Dec 6

Announcers = Spero Dedes, Solomon Wilcots

The line = Bills by 3

Looks like along with most of Texas and western New York, most of Indiana will be rooting the Texans on to victory.

----------------------------------------------------

Other Sunday viewing in the Houston area:

FOX (early) = Seattle @ Minnesota -- Kevin Burkhardt, John Lynch

FOX (late) = Philadelphia @ New England -- Thom Brennaman, Charles Davis

----------------------------------------------------

Prime time:

TNF = Green Bay @ Detroit, CBS/NFLN

SNF = Indianapolis @ Pittsburgh, NBC

MNF = Dallas @ Washington, ESPN

As of now, appears we're going to get lucky with the weather. Never know about Buffalo this time of year. No precipitation, and "mild" (for them) temps in the 40's. Not too shabby.

Hope the good guys can stay focused and continue to entertain us!

If we had Arian, I'd probably agree. Since we seem to have more success thru the air, thinking the forecast is more of a benefit to us than them.

Shady vs. Blue isn't a matchup that points in our direction.

Seems this game is a pretty tough one to handicap. Straight up, most (61%) are picking the Bills which is what you would expect for a 3 pt favorite. The ESPN picks however, give the Texans the edge with 8 votes to 6.

Against the spread, it's pretty much a coin flip as I'm seeing just about equal action on both teams. In this video, the tout kinda beats around the bush on the side but does like the 41.5 pts to go "over". The interviewer however, leans towards the Texans at +3....

Not good when your starting guard leaves in an ambulance 2 hours before kickoff.

I log in to nfl.com and the first thing I see is a big picture of Brian Hoyer. This always bothers me. Every time there seems to be big hype around our team, we wet the bed.

Not if the Bills keep running at Simon. They have a hundred yards rushing in the first mfing quarter. I can't tell where Clowney is. I don't understand why Simon is all alone trying to contain the edge.
