Should be a good game. I hate the Patriots but if I had to choose a team from this, I'd pick the Patriots to win.

Even despite them being with no Gronk and on their 3rd string QB, you know Bill Bellichek is gonna pull something out of his ass and it's gonna work just fine. Plus I'm guessing Houston to feel cocky coming since their 2-0 and probably will expect this to be easy since NE is missing so many guys.

Definitely rooting for Houston though.

I think Houston takes this one. Garropolo is one thing, but I don't think the Pats are ready for Brissett to be the starting QB. And if Gronk is still out, you have Edelman, an injured O-line, and a bunch of jabronis out there, with a 3rd string QB. I would be shocked if the Pats win this one...but then again, I was shocked that they beat the Cardinals in Arizona. So tbh, I wouldn't be shocked either way, but I think the lack of talent finally catches up to them and they drop to 2-1. Houston keeps their dream start alive and goes to 3-0.

I reeeeeally hope so. He played QB in college, so I guess it's not too crazy to think about. Man that would be entertaining.

Houston's defense will make life miserable for NE, but I'm still concerned about the Texans ability to score.

Watt will have a huge game.

I don't think the Texans will be too cocky going into this game, at least I'd hope not. Cody and Barwin are no longer on the team, so that 2012 silliness shouldn't be a repeat issue.

2-0 is nice, but doesn't really mean much. The last two times the Texans started 2-0 they ended up having their worst season ever(wasn't 2013 fun?), then finished 9-7 and still missed the playoffs the following season.

Having said that, it's also still BB and NE.

It's like playing the Colts now. Even though it's not the Manning era anymore, I still don't trust being able to go into their house and win, especially in a prime time game.

Having said THAT, Texans win.

I hope.

That's the best way to do it. Do you have a mini fridge? If not, it's bucket after bucket of ice to turn your sink into an ice chest. Good times.

Hopefully some ghosts at this haunted hotel come visit me while I watch the game

Nooooooooooo! North Carolina needs to get it's **** together!

Seriously, I could understand why they would move it. But that would be a big hit for the Panthers. Wonder where they would move it to.

It'd be awesome if the Texans and Patriots somehow both lose to each other.

I've always wanted an all Texas Super Bowl. So I'm rooting for the Texans.
