    Any chance of Texans losing out? They have been playing with fire lately

    Tenn, Indy twice, Pats, and Minny. Should have lost their last two also.

    3-2 or 2-3 last 5.
    I can see them going one and out in the playoffs though

    We'll probably lose to Indy last game of the season when we are preparing for the playoffs...I could also see us losing to NE.

    No cakewalk for Houston down the stretch, but 3-2 or 2-3 seems most realistic.

    In the playoffs, they'll be ok, last year's experience is bound to pay dividends this year. 1-1 seems plausible.

    They will start resting players.
    Broncos win out though all the way to the superbowl

    Ravens will clinch division before texans. yet texans clubbed ravens earlier this year.

    They won't bench anyone

    First round bye means everything even if it hasn't in the past

    Giants seem to do OK in the first round and beyond.
    But they are the exception, not the rule.

    they have certain weaknesses that can and will probably be exposed in the playoffs. They likely get a first round bye and win a game as well but thats about it. Can't see them competing with the Patriots

    Lose out? Not likely. They have a banged up defense, so they are much more vulnerable then they were early in the season. However, if they can go into NE and beat the Patriots, then win of their other games against Indy, Minnesota, or Tennessee, they will be a lock to be resting starters @Indy week 17. Which could have big implications on the Colts and their bid for a wild card.

    The only other team I can picture actually resting starters is Atlanta... and that's only IF they can create a bigger gap between themselves and San Francisco. Which may be harder than people expect, considering Atlanta closes out against NO, @Carolina, NYG, @Detroit, and TB. On the other hand, San Francisco has games against @St Louis, Miami, Arizona, @New England, and @Seattle. I can see them going 4-1, although 3-2 may be a better assumption considering they're playing away against their two strongest upcoming opponents.

    It seems like Texans have already peaked. If they lose to the Titans on the road I can see the wheels falling off and losing out.

    A LOT of injuries on Defense right now so look for them to drop off especially once the playoff situation clears up in a couple weeks.

    Am I reading this right?

    10-1
    A single point worse than Pittsburgh for first place in points allowed in the AFC
    5-0 on the road
    Second highest scoring team in the AFC
    Won @ Denver
    Won @ Chicago
    Beat 9-2 Baltimore by 30 points
    Third best point differential in NFL
    AFC's leading rusher
    AFC's second leading receiver
    AFC's leading sacker
    Second in AFC in 1st downs allowed
    Defense leads NFL in 3rd down conversions

    How is this team going to win any more games this year!?

    Its the dreaded eye test thing. Beating ravens and bears seem so long ago. The last two weeks overtime wins against the jaguars and lions are not the stuff of champions.
