    Surprised there isn't one up by now... still five hours until gametime.

    Personally, I think our defense is strong again, stopping Tomlinson and daring Drew Brees to beat them. While they (Chargers) may have success throwing down the field, it will likely stall in the red zone, and that is where we will have our chance to win.

    Texans 17
    Chargers 16

    Like I said elsewhere, Texans will go 9-6, the Chargers will be 1 of those 9 wins. Texans 24 - Chargers 14.

    Carr will have his dart-thrower on display today boys.:D
    Gaffney will impress.
    Makeshift OL will not be pretty, but will keep David fairly new.(2 sacks)

    I think our defense is going to win this one for us. Glenn was real close to getting several picks last week & I believe that the defense is going to hit paydirt this week. They'll score 2 touchdowns on, either interceptions or fumble recoveries, & the offense, while still struggling, will grind out 3 FG's.

    Houston wins 23-10.

    I'm not as optimistic as y'all this week. I see us slowing them down, but home field advantage prevails

    SD........... 17
    Texans ...13

    They can't go 9-6, maybe 9-7 and lose this game.

    Chargers-31
    Texans-19

    Well, coupled with the fact that I do think San Diego will win and last weeks result after I thought that Dallas would win, I am predicting a Chargers win.

    Chargers - 23
    Texans - 13

    I hate fans that can't figure out the difference between negativism and superstition.

    Do you all seriously want the TExans to win 9 games? If they make the playoffs, don't they lose some of their picks? We can't get good too fast...Learn from the previous examples...

    Raven my bad, I just looked at that sickening score you posted.

    People, isn't the point of getting draft picks is to build toward a winning team? I mean I'd rather see a winning team out there than just a team saying "Atleast we'll have good draft picks". It's not like we're old, we only have 2-3 players above 30, making us one of the youngest teams in the L. Besides, with the parody in the NFL Free Agency market, and a owner who doesn't mind putting up dough, we can replace some of those picks with young , veteran free agents.

    This one will likely go in the "L" collumn.

    Texans 10
    Chargers 24

    I hope I'm wrong though.

    Chargers are one of the league's better up-and-coming teams. They in no way compare to the ineptness of the Cowboys.

    Chargers 27
    Texans 10

    I have faith in this team...but at some point faith must give way to reality. Please don't imply that those who predict a loss today are bad fans. [​IMG]

    I never question anyone's love for a team, I just think that guys should have some positive outlooks. It's probably just me being me. Wanting my team to win every game.

    Still! Texans 24 - Chargers 14!!
