They are 3-4 in a tight AFC and could be 5-2

waste of money

doubt they will finish with 6 wins.

Other den da fact that it has no shot at cashing, it iz tremendous value.

AMBlai01 · 10-31-08, 01:58 PM

Those last 3 games that they have won are against teams that have a combined record of 3-19.....now does 3-4 really look all that good?

Texans are who they are...a very average team.

I like where your head is at, but I just don't really don't think Houston is ready this year.

biggamer3 · 10-31-08, 02:02 PM

I think this bet is a tough one but i was looking for a real surprise team with a chance at exploding.

The Texans schedule is tough but they can win the Minny, Balt, Cleveland and end up with 9 or 10 wins

Looking at their remaining schedule, how many games will they be favored in.........one?, maybe two?

They have very little chance of even making the playoffs, let alone winning the AFC

Save your money

Minny and Cleveland are road games, and no chance of beating Baltimore IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if they fail to win another game all season.

FWIW I also threw some money on the Jets at 35-1 to win AFC

I did win some nice coin with the Gmen last year at 35-1 to win SB so 35-1 is a great number for me

Your Jets wager is about 8x better than your Texans wager.

The Texans should be no less than 100-1 to win the AFC.

hahaha hilarious... the Texans??

l7ustin · 10-31-08, 02:52 PM

The Texans will win this weekend, TAKE IT TO THE BANK

McBa1n · 10-31-08, 03:02 PM

At 65 to 1? That's not a horrible play at all. The way injuries occur and the like, I think the AFC is wide open come playoff time - I'm not sure the Texans can make the playoffs, but if they win this weekend, they help their cause quite a bit. Actually, I think there's a great case for them to get 9 wins this year if they win this weekend - and they COULD sneak into the playoffs. I thought they were an 8-8 team to start the year - but as things have shaped out, if they pick off a big win here and there, they're actually in the hunt.

The other thing to like about that punt is if they DO get in, they are division rivals with the Titans - there's some hope there. Same goes for Indy, who they outplayed until Rosenfels tried to become the greatest player ever and choked hardcore.

I like it at those odds.

I like the Texans at 65-1. They are right in the mix, they just gotta keep stacking up those wins. This weekend is a true test game, on the road against another team that could go either way. I think the Texans will show that they can play this weekend and maybe open up some eyes. The Texans are much better than their record, and if they can sneak into a wildcard, we've seen how that's gone the past few years, anything can happen.

I think the Jets are terrible value at 35-1. They are a terrible team. I don't see how they can even snag a wildcard, they can barely beat terrible teams like KC at home with their 3rd string QB and LJ out. The Jets get slaughtered at the Bills this weekend and people will start talking about Favre being washed up once again.

whoatommy · 10-31-08, 07:50 PM

Their defense is still a big ?

etothep · 10-31-08, 07:52 PM

Depends on one's definition of value I suppose

TheAnswer03 · 10-31-08, 09:07 PM

Did anyone really expect the Giants to win last year? I didn't think so. That is good value with a watered down AFC this year.

35:1 really is my golden number.

Not saying this will hit but, damn i am pissed i didnt put more on this.

Only put 50 to win 1750.
