Texans win 21-18

I think this one will be a defensive slugfest. Both teams play around their D and both teams rely on their QBs to make a big play here or there to generate offense. When it comes down to it, I anticipate Stroud making the big throw in this game more than Herbert does. I trust Houston’s secondary to lock down the Chargers and their lack or a dynamic playmkaing threat. Also think Nico Collins makes a big catch at a big time to help the Texans edge them out. And honestly, my main reason for picking against the Chargers is the fact that EVERYONE is acting like this game is a foregone win for them. I know Harbaugh is there now, but the Chargers will Charger until proven otherwise.

It’s just hard to look past how bad Texans have looked and their injuries at Wr
 
Does Houston ever not play the early Saturday game?
For Houston, they on the lower end of the pecking order when it comes to their following league wide. Have been that way for a while. Goes back to the NE with Brady was always going to get the Sunday game, same with KC now. But, with bye weeks, they look at the next tier.
With Allen's rise, Buffalo is one of the top choices for CBS to keep for Sunday. Next, would be Bal/Cin because of their QB situation.

CBS protected the Buff game. Fox protected the Phi/GB game. Then it looks like their other TV partners with NBC, ESPN, Prime got to pick a game. ESPN went with LA/Min, NBC got TB/Wash, and Prime got Bal/Pitt. Not sure who got to pick first and if they were limited to a certain conference. FOX gets the SB this season, so probably why they get 1 fewer WC game this PO.

CBS gets the last game which was Hou/LAC. ESPN/NBC would be evening games in their regular season time slot. Left Prime to pick a time slot and they went with Saturday in prime time.

Thus Houston again lands in the earlier Saturday window.
 
I honestly don't care who wins. I have a mild annoyance with Houston ever since that playoff game but I was more pissed off at my own team for choking than them winning . I have nothing against either team . Just hoping for a great game.
 
That’s a Big stop. I’m going to be thinking about those saved four points when they lose by 16

They stole a touchdown for no other reason than not wanting to embarrass them and called a brutal penalty late that cost them the game.

I broke a phone that day.
