There are a number of similarities between this game and the game yesterday between the Ravens and Broncos. The Broncos were overwhelming favorites and had embarrassed the Ravens in week 15, 34-17. In this game, the Patriots are also overwhelming favorites with a point spread of either 9.5 or 10 depending on who you check. They also handed the Texans an embarrassing loss on December 10th, 42-14 ... Ouch!
Will the Texans match the Ravens yesterday and prove the pundits wrong? The chances don't look promising. The Texans come into Foxborough with pretty much the same team that got blown out. Hopefully it will be a tough, physical, hard-fought game. Though it will be hard for it to top today's first game for excitement - what a comeback by the Seahawks! Only to be crushed at the end.
