Correct on all accounts though the team that has me wary is New Orleans.Attyla the Hawk":1gho57c6 said:Philly has a defense. They should be a very tough matchup.
I expect Seattle to be well into their late season surge by then. We should be playing very near our peak. We're in for a treat of a game win or lose.
Right now the teams that scare me are Minnesota and Philly in that order. I think we can take any other team even on their field as it stands right now. By that I mean no less than a pick em on the road. Obviously I expect us to lose some that we anticipate to be a win.
Houston could be that game. They've been putting up 30+ a game since Watson ascended to the starter role. But a lot of those points were in games that were decided losses in garbage time.
Also, you have to consider opposition:
Patriots: 23rd defense
Titans: 26th defense
Chiefs: 20th defense
Browns: 24th defense
Watson has been padding stats against the sisters of the poor this league has to offer on defense. And the manner in which those stats have come is equally compelling.
I am not going to be dazzled by the star wars numbers he's been putting up. This is a defense the likes he's never seen. In a venue that eats up opposing teams.
Against top 10 defenses, they've scored 7 and 13 points (Jacksonville #2, Cincy #7). This reeks of a come down to earth game for Houston.

Having a hard time seeing how a Case Keenum led team can scare you.

Keenum beat the Seahawks while he was with the Rams last season.

I hope they get here with 5 losses.
Why would you want any team ahead of us in the NFC standings to have a better record than us? Means the margin of error for our remaining games is small to none.
