Quote:Interestingly, the tinhorns are 4-0 at home and 0-2 on the road right now. They play two more games (1 home, 1 away) before their bye and then their last half of their schedule ends with 5 games on the road and only 3 at home. With this in mind coupled with who their opponents are, their schedule doesn't lend itself to them finishing strong. I'm more concerned about the tacks than I am the tinhorns at the moment, but I do believe the Jags will win the division this year.
lol....delusional. Texans 2 road loss were to the best 2 teams in the NFL. Their road schedule is alot easier coming up after the broncos.

Interestingly, the JagUars are 2-4. With 10 more games on their schedule, coupled with who their coaches are, their schedule doesn't lend itself to them finishing strong. I'm more concerned with the Colts at the moment. If Andrew Luck gets hurt again, they may actually finish worse than Jags.

Denver and Houston are basically the same team. But O'Brien adjusts and coaches better later in games - as long as he's not down 3 scores. Kubiak doesn't adjust. Ever.
Denver's coming off 16 (at home) and 13 point offensive efforts against defenses well short of Houston's. There's no great reason to think either team can move the ball in the air - they're #1 and #2 in passing defense, and neither team's passing O rates better than mediocre. If Denver wins, it'll most likely be on Special Teams.

How can Houston and Denver be the same team? The two coaches have different offensive and defensive schemes and halftime adjustments.

What I mean is that in general the two teams have the same issues and the same results - as long as you consider only this season of course.
Denver is #1 in pass D, Houston is #2 - last week it was the other way around. Both are bottom 10 against the run. Houston is #27 in offense yards/game. Denver is #28. Houston has a glaring issue with getting off to terrible starts. Denver is #31 in 1st quarter points, and their defense has given up points on their opponent's first drive 5 times in 6 games - and 4 of them were TDs. Both teams have some potential at QB, yet neither has shown any sort of consistency whatsoever out of the position. Both teams are 4-2. Houston's losses were blowouts, but they were to much better quality opponents then Denver's - and even with those blowouts all those stats referenced above are still very equal.
Houston has a slightly better rushing attack, but their special teams are putrid.

Gary Kubiak will start using the 1-2 RG system. Of course knowing everything about the Texans QB will help an already-elite defense. I like Denver's chances in this one. The Broncos recovered fumbles on ST.

Houston #7 defense vs. Denver#28 offense
Denver #4 defense vs. Houston #27 offense
Denver #1 passing defense vs. Houston #30 passing offense
Houston #2 pass defense vs. Denver #27 passing offense
Houston #10 rushing attack vs. Denver #21 rushing defense
Denver #20 rushing attack vs. Houston #29 rush defense
Denver +3 TO, Houston -4 TO
When the Texans are on offense it is must-see TV.

Agreed. Lamar Miller is a dynamo

O rly? Cause I thought we were 2-3. You gotta wait till Sunday to change that one.

LOL They might as well say we are 3-2 if they are that stupid.
On a similar note, in the TNF preview article I read Arrelious Benn's game-winning TD was his first catch since 2012.
I think the Jags need to go 4-2 at worst in the division to win the South, and I think they will!

One down, five to go. I don't see how we lose in Nashville next week.
Unfortunately simply winning the majority of our AFCS games is not enough. One year the Raiders swept the AFCW and missed the playoffs.

How do you think they'll do in the non divisional games? You know, the other ten.

So far we are 1-3 in those games. In four hours that should change to 2-3.
After Week 8, when we play a divisional opponent, we probably will win a couple more but also will lose outside the AFCS.

What's so funny? I was serious.
Now we are 2-4, in an even worse fashion than I thought we would be. I am looking at the rest of the schedule, and I know we will steal some win we shouldn't (non-division) but even with that 5-11 is looking like reality. I stick with Texans to win the division, but I am predicting Jags will be last instead of tacks.
