  1. I think drake maye will push the ball down the field for sure. Texans coverage is lackadaisical at times and considering how many times Rogers felt comfortable to throw it deep down the field makes me wonder how much better could drake maye do if it were him 😅

  2. 35-6 texans. they keep doubting us and that's what we want. we want the hate and the doubts. it only adds feul to the fire! we love the fire!! we eat fire for breakfast! lets go texans!!

  3. I feel like some outlets are treating the texans like they’re trash and some are treating the pats like they’re trash. Coming from a pats fan. I’m just ready for an exciting game. The Texans have a hell of a team and are gonna be around for a long time. Best divisional round game in my opinion

  4. Texans are about to absolutely smack the patriots 😭 crazy how there’s mass delusion going on on in this game. Patriots are the most overrated team I’ve seen in the last decade, and same with drake maye. People simply cannot accept they had an incredibly easy schedule. Houston defense bouta embarrass maye.

  5. New England Patriots have a ran into Houston Texas this year New England Patriots play nobody hard this year man this is going to be the hardest game right here man New England Patriots going to get their ass smash what is Pittsburgh watch

  6. Lmao, the chick at the end saying the patriots offense got out of last weeks game "just okay" like Drake Maye didn't turn the ball over 3 times and the Chargers didn't hold this supposedly elite offense to 16 points. What are we talking about here folks? The Patriots season was fraudulent, and I have a feeling they are going to either get exposed or get vindicated after Sunday. I honestly have the winner of this game going to the SB, whether that be the Texans or the Pats, but my money is on the Texans personally

  7. As a Texans fans. I can honestly say the Patriots are about to end this Super Bowl dream decisively, and it will be due to CJ Stroud being in way over his head. He’s NOT a good QB. Plain and simple. This defense is elite, but it’s not special. It has weaknesses that will be exploited. However, hope I’m wrong.

  8. Why is everyone acting like they put an aswhooping on the Charges? They sucked. They keep saying Texans Steelers was 7 to 6 @ half…. Pats chargers was 6 to 3 half. Pats sucked against a chargers team that was very meh… Why would they excel against the Texans?

  9. 😂 damn my team underdogs every week next up patriots let them keep picking against us if josh Allen couldn’t do what y’all think drake maye about to do is crazy but I want to hear the excuses after the game

  10. If our rookies don’t Step up and Kirk don’t play the way he played last game , we are screwed without Nico 😮😮😮. If they rookies Step it up , we got this shit !!! Drake going to shit in his pants 👖 😅

  11. It's more realistic that he doesn't have 5 fumbles because he NEVER did it before. May isn't Rogers and and the defense is the defense. This game may not be close

  12. While I think New England will win I"m confused by the 19 to 14 prediction. That means they will be kicking 4 fg's in the game. I dont' see the Texans letting 5 drives go far enough to give up points considering there are only 8 to 9 drives in a game. I'd venture to say 17 or 21 maybe big maybe there but I feel NE will stop Hou from scoring much if they don't get short field turnovers.

  13. Pats offensive line is average at best, wrs average, defense average, average at generating pressure….Texans win because they have far more talent…
