My NFL Week 2 Key Matchup

My NFL Week 2 Key Matchup

NFL Football is back and I am happier than ever! I am also very glad that I get to do my weekly picks. You know, they give you a bunch of games and you pick who you think is going to win. It is fun but can be frustrating when the "high favorite" loses. So this week I am going to tell you who I think is going to win in a matchup.

Dallas vs. Houston. So this week Romo and the boys are going down to Houston to see if they kick some Texans this week. It is going to be extremely hard for the Boys to beat a team that is 2-0. I am thinking that it is going to be a repeat of that preseason game, where the Texans kicked the boys out of Reliant Stadium. Now Dallas is 2nd in passing yards this year(surprisingly) but they haven't won a game. They Cowboys might have won in Week one, if OL Alex Barron could have kept his hands to himself, and avoided that holding call. Then last week the Boys stayed home to play the Bears. They got runover by the Bears offense, but the Cowboys offense also did a great job at scoring. It just wasn't enough to win the game.
Now I will talk about the Texans. Absolutely great team. The best I have seen them play in years. Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson are at the height of their career. In Week 1 they took on the Colts and kicked the tail off of them. They made Peyton Manning look like a Rookie. I was very impressed with how well the Texans moved the ball. Adrian Foster also looked great with several TD's in that game. Then in Week 2 the Texans come close to a loss as they go into OT against the Skins. McNabb was looking good and so was Schaub, but the Texans prevailed 30-27 OT. So now with all the stats out of the way, here is my pick. I am expecting the Texans to win like they did in the preseason. Go Texans!
