Week 6: Patriots vs Texans

Maye Day! Maye Day!

It's not the easiest pass rush to see on your first start, but hopefully, we'll see some kind of spark in the offense. Honestly, I just hope nobody gets injured. Texans win 28-20

Bold Prediction: Maye gets a pass TD and rushing TD in his first start

Thoughts from the board

Oscar

Everything about this game points to big trouble for the Patriots. This OL versus one of the top front sevens in the league. Rookie QB. The locker room may or may not be a mess. Down their top RB and (maybe) their top safety again. So obviously the pick here is for the Pats to keep it close (i.e. a one score game) into the fourth quarter. Houston will eventually impose its will, but it'll be a dogfight.

Texans win 34-13

Bold Prediction: Seriously? Drake Maye throws zero picks? You're kidding, right?

DNOM

Probably going to be rough sledding but hopefully it'll be more exciting to watch with Maye behind center.

Texans win 25-24

Bold Prediction: Pop goes over 100 yards receiving and catches one of Maye's three TD passes.

I wish I could pick the Patriots but I just can't . The future is now and we get to see that starting this game.Hopefully maye show some spark.

Texans win 38-17

Bold Prediction: Maye throws for 2 TD's and rushes for 50 yards.

Blight

Pats got this upset in the bag. Drake's gonna do Drake things.

Patriots win 33-14

Bold Prediction: Pats oline has a pressure rate under 40%!

RKing

My prediction of the winner and the score is actually not a reflection of how I think the game is going to go, but I'm going to keep picking the Pats until I will it into existence. Manifest destiny or something... anyway I think the OL struggles mightily against a strong texans defensive front. I think Drake has a handful of "wow" moments but also ends up pressured into some very rookie moments. If the pats do manage to win, its because the defense makes life tough on the texans and maybe comes up with a score of their own.

Patriots win 24-21

Bold Prediction: Gonzo pick 6

Dino

Without Nico Collins, the Texans offense becomes more defendable. But without Rhamondre Stevens, the Pats offense becomes more defendable as well. There will be a lot of pressure on Patriots players who have not had to carry that pressure on their shoulders before. How they respond will determine whether this is a close game, or a rout. If the Pats' offensive line can't show some integrity, the game will not be close.

Texans win 24-13

Bold Prediction: Drake Maye will throw two INTs and fumble twice as well. But he will show some thrilling talent!

Dyims

The Pats Defense still doesn't have the horses they need to go toe to toe with the Texans and Stroud.

Texans win 35-17

Bold Prediction: Stroud will throw for 3 TDs.

RCR

Improvement on offense but defense can't come through in the end

Texans win 27-20

Bold Prediction: Boutte TD
