HOU vs JAX (1 Viewer)

[shadyridr]

I can see starting all the following players this week:

QB- Schaub, Garrard

RB- Foster (duh), MJD (duh)

WR- Johnson (duh), Jones (decent WR3 sleeper this week?), MSW (usually inconsistent but I think hes a must start), Thomas (decent WR3 sleeper?)

TE- Lewis (top 5 option), Daniels (if healthy), Dreesen (in deeeep leagues)

K- Rackers, Scobee

Any predictions here?

Usually, when this is foreseen by the masses, you inevitably end up with a 13-6 game...

I agree. Everytime a shootout is predicted, then it ends up being a low scoring game.

I can see both teams trying to control the clock with their running games.

i no longer trust matt schaub after having freeman on my bench out perform him again!!

Actually wonder if Foster and Garrard are the stars of this.

Foster is the best RB in the league right now. And Andre is banged up.

Houston is terrible pass-D. And Garrard play bad defenses pretty well. Plus he vultures TD's from MJD all the time.

Just a thought.

On the other hand... If both defenses focus on stopping the run, which they probably will... the passing game should flourish. I have a hard time seeing this as low-scoring game...

Sad to say that MJD is no longer an automatic start. However this matchup dose look too good for me to start Jcharles or Hillis ahead of him. Every time I start MJD I find myself holding my breath the entire time, praying to have the good Jags show up.

When Romo went down I picked up Freeman and Garrard to alternate depending on the matchup. I will be rolling with Garrard in this one for sure. It seems to me that Houston has had real trouble stopping #1 WRs so I would think Sims Walker could have a nice game.

6-3 final score. Biggest FF trap game of the year

Hard to believe when Kareem Jackson is playing one CB spot. From the Houston Chronicle, here's opposing QB's numbers in each game this season:Player Team Yards TD Int. Rating

Peyton Manning Colts 433 3 0 109.8

Donovan McNabb Redskins 426 1 0 119.0

Tony Romo Cowboys 284 2 0 127.6

Bruce Gradkowski Raiders 278 2 2 78.8

Eli Manning Giants 297 3 2 89.1

Matt Cassel Chiefs 201 3 0 122.9

Peyton Manning Colts 268 2 0 89.9

Philip Rivers Chargers 295 4 1 137.2

We can't stop anybody at all. It's not just Jackson, the safeties have little range and the pass rush is pathetic. I'm going with Mike Thomas in this one; Glover Quin isn't great either, but if he's got Sims-Walker most of the time I'll take my chances with anybody vs. Kareem right now...

 

[C-Bound]

Man, I want to start MSW but with 3 other good options, its too scary. I bet he goes off though.

 

[N Zone]

Garrard's gonna light up the scoreboard.

You mean like the SD-Hou game?

I was about to point out the same thing. Vega had that game as the highest O/U total on the board and they were spot on as usual. Anything could happen in any game but smart money has this JAX vs. HOU game being high scoring.I think Marcedes Lewis is a solid bet for 2 TDs.

Both pass D's are horrid... MSW should blow up this week, along the lines of 7/130/1, maybe multiple scores.
