They're going to have to win the game for the Texans.

Well, it's funny, ironically or otherwise, I've been saying for two months now, the Texans are the most loaded team, the best team, maybe top to bottom in the AFC.

But my opinion changed by watching them beat the Steelers on Monday night.

I mean, they're really what I don't think is available to them.

And maybe they'll prove me wrong is I don't think that Woody Marks is going to.

triple digits on the ground against the Patriots like they did against the Steelers that is I mean the Tomlin news kind of obscured the actual deeds that went down on Monday Night Football in Pittsburgh but that was the disgrace for this from the Steeler side of things was that that bum offensive line and Woody Marks made so much hay in a low scoring game that touchdown is the margin of victory I know it got sideways towards the end with defensive touchdowns and everything else

But the heart of that game is in a tight-knit affair, their ability to run the ball for that one drive and get into the locker room 7-6.

I just don't think that's going to happen against the Patriots in this case.

Now that they know C.J.

Stroud is a liability, borderline.

It doesn't seem like he's altogether right.

How do you explain otherwise all those turnovers?

Fumbles, not able to even receive the snap successfully.

I think this adds up to, like I say, a Patriots win narrow.

though.

Now, the second best rivalry of the 21st century is the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks, although maybe Bears-Packers has now jumped over it again.

But we've had now two distinct eras in the last 25 years of the Niners and Seahawks both being good at the same time.

Here in January of 2026, it's clear that the Seahawks are the superior team.

The football gods have not smiled on the Niners in terms of injuries, although

There is some hope for Fred Warner to get out there at the time of this recording.
