Texans ~vs~ Vikings Predictions

[Vikingstw]

Thanks bud, just cause she wants to push me around or whatever, its not gonna stop me from football discussion with everyone else.

Anyhow, oh the udeze update. I'm impressed with udeze so far he's only got one sack but he got it on d mac, he's got some tackles but didnt play all that well against the bears and he's confident he will come back and make up for it this week. I think hes gonna be a monster in this league. I really like his personality to, seem to be a sharp guy. Sometimes it takes DE's awhile to really start making an impact but he's played pretty well two of our 3 games. He didnt get any sacks his first three games last year at USC and then ended up with 16 and a half. The SHOULDER injury was blown way out of porportion and i think teams were scared on taking a chance, but his shoulder is fine. I was so exited when we got him, i freaked, i couldn't believe he was still there. But overall i'm very happy with him.

I remember that some people on this MB wanted the TExans to pick him. Is he matching u p against Todd Wade or Seth Wand this week? I thought Todd Wade. Should be a good matchup.

I would be surprised, if this game is primary decided in the trenches. Texans Oline and the Dline of the Vikings have both something to show for. I would expect 2 sacks, but no game decisive plays by the Vikings Dline.

The Vikings are better known in general than the Texans, concerning the "damage" their respective offenses can do:

1) The Texans offense has to show consistency with Carr moving the ball, keeping thereby the defenders off the line, the saftey out of the box. 20 points is a must-be. And Brown will deliver, i'm sure.

2) The danger is always, where you don't expect it. Not Moss is the most dangerous player for the Vikings, because everyone is expecting a big game by Moss against a weak pass defense - In that kind of situation he often isn't delivering - it is Culpepper, whose play is more decisive. Don't let him run effectivly and still bring a four man rush. Culpepper isn't used to the 3-4, who is used very rarely in the NFC.

I expect good defense by the Texans and score in the mid twenties, close game.

I hope my streak ends this week. I'm 4-0 so far on picking the Texan's games. Even with the uncertainty of Vikings backfield and the fact that we have never lost a home game to a NFC opponent, I like them to win it.

Vikings 35, Texans 24

I'm just greatful that this is our only game on Fox this season. I absolutely hate the sound effects and flashing lights of their stats bar at the top. I would imagine someone with epilepsy will sue them when they get a seizure from it.

I curse you OGRE

HOWEVER YOU ARE CORRECT AGAIN

SO IF YOUR THIRSTY, SEND ME EMAIL

First of all, IT'S GUYS LIKE YOU THAT PI$$ ME OFF! Grow up! You already contradicted yourself by saying you know Moss sooooo well and he's not a whiner. Then come back and say maybe he is a whiner.(Calm down John Kerry!) You talk about your defense like they're good and their ranked 29th in total defense, 30th in passing defense, and 10th in rushing defense. Now that 10th spot looks really good but you haven't played anyone with any real running game. Other than your passing game right now you guys really don't have too much to brag about but with the the way our team has been jekyll and Hyde that may be all you need but I doubt it. Also you can laugh all you want and dare all you want about us blitzing but you can bet it will happen and you may not like what the outcome is. By the way, 75 is winter highs weather 'round here so maybe you should watch the weather channel and maybe you'll see that to compare the temerature up there to down here is apparently another situation where you don't know what you're talking about. Come here talking smack and don't know anything about football or the weather. LOL How ya like them apples?
