Ive been looking over the boards and I see a lot of
if our defense gels
and
if we can pressure Collins
.
Huh?
Your defense hasnt done much in the last three games. They are rated #15 and have given up 76 points already. On Sunday they are going up against one of the biggest, most physical o-lines in the league. It was said best last week..
Announcer#1 The Bucs defense is looking very tired out there.
Announcer#2 Youd be tired too if you spent the day trying to run around buildings.
You really think youre going to put the heat on Collins? I see you getting through a few times, but not enough to make a real difference. Collins is going to have all the time he needs to get the ball down field to any one of our new, young receivers.
Plan on seeing your D out on the field most of the day and getting man-handled by our o-line.
Ive also seen a lot of talk about your o-line going up against your d-line. Again, you are going up against one of the more physical ds in the league. They are rated 9th and have given up 54 points (14 of those werent until the last quarter when our team went into cruise mode against the Bucs). Look at last Sunday to see what I mean. I plan on seeing a lot of 3 and outs.
Last of all, look at the record: Two losses against mediocre teams and a by the skin of your teeth win against 0-3 KC. We are 2-1 and both of our wins are pretty solid.
Im not trying to take anything away from your team, but I think everything points to a Raider win. But who knows?
Any given Sunday and all that, but I have to go with the Raiders.
Raiders 27
Texans 9
Just Win, Baby!
