Seriously, someone please contact Elias Sports Bureau to determine if this is the worst prime time game ever played.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

This game is going to be epic!

 

[Raider Nation]

This game is going to be epic!

It should be a fantasy bonanza! I can't wait to read the comments during the game.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE I STARTED ___________ IN A PLAYOFF GAME!!!!"

 

[NREC34]

Mike Mayock announcing is the cherry on top.

 

[msudaisy26]

This could be for the right to pick the first quarterback in the draft.

 

[Hooper31]

Never too soon to get the chatter started for this one.

Throw out the records when these two fierce rivals meet!

Al Davis would not approve of you starting this thread.

There aren't many teams we can make fun of this year. I couldn't pass up the chance, statistically speaking.

 

[bweiser]

I normally work at night, so I'd have to miss the game. Might have to burn a vacation day for this classic.

I can respect the funny. This just isn't it. Al weeps for you from that better place.

 

[Hooper31]

Speaking of a better place, I wonder what form/shape heaven would take for Al Davis. Each day a new crushing victory over the Chiefs?

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

These are the type of matchups mayock and Thursday nights deserve...

 

[xfactor99]

I think of the dog days of February - August when there is no football being played, and it makes me appreciate and plan to watch this matchup!

 

[Dan Lambskin]

If only they could play this game in London too

 

[jsharlan]

Its like the 2005 game against the 9ers all over again for us Texans fans.

 

[Houston turmOiler]

I think the home field advantage and electric atmosphere in the stadium will be too much for my Texans

 

[The General]

The loser should have to take Gabbert.

 

[mquinnjr]

Will they be showing NFLRedZone previous week highlights to get fans into the stands? Keep the 2 free beers policy going?

Andre Johnson owners, unfortunately, must watch this. Can't imagine anyone else would subject themselves to this clash of the titans.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Losing team gets taken out back and is never heard from again?

 

[Raider Nation]

MJD too. Can't see how you'd sit him here if you've been using him all year. Beyond that... not much. Shorts maybe.

The final score will end up being like 45-42 & everyone will say that they should've started Ace Sanders.

 

[lod01]

Thursday night Gem.

 

[ebsteelers]

whats the college game that night?

brutal will need to watch for a.j. though

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Its like the 2005 game against the 9ers all over again for us Texans fans.

Oh yes, the Reggie Bush Bowl that became the "you have to draft Vince Young" pick that turned into Mario Williams and ticked everyone off. Good times...good times...

 

[False Start]

Bridgewater Bowl!

 

[Eviloutsider]

Texans D will keep me interested in this one as well.

 

[Rubi]

I've watched every Thursday Night game so far. This week I can only say,"The hills are alive....with The Sound Of Music"

 

[Wadsworth]

Great game, can't wait. But it will be hard for the teams to create another classic like the 13-6 barnburner from last week.

Go Jags!

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Yes go Jags...we need the pick.

 

[CoachJankySpanky]

Bridgewater Bowl!

The Clowney Bowl seems more fitting. They could pipe in some clown music during each play.

 

[Donnybrook]

Go Houston! (Especially in the Jags beat the Browns this week.) :VikingsFan:

 

[Raider Nation]

Records updated in the title.

What kind of odds could you have gotten in the preseason that Jacksonville would have a better record than Houston entering this game?

 

[East Coast Bias]

Is this that Beef 'O' Bradys bowl I've been hearing about?

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Anyone starting a defense in this one?

 

[East Coast Bias]

Anyone starting a defense in this one?

This is going to be a shootout.

 

[Raider Nation]

How exactly are we expected to get any sleep the next four nights?

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

This one's going to make people forget about the Iron Bowl.

 

[Isotopes]

Both D/ST are available in my league. I have to think there will be turnovers, sacks and other mistakes with the football.

As a team that changes team D/ST just about weekly - I am giving thought to playing the Jags at home in this game. They have scored pretty well the last two weeks......just not sure I have the intestinal fortitude to carry this out.

Oh come on....Jags made Keenum look terrible a few days ago with the blitz. Youre good....

 

[Isotopes]

The Pats D/ST didn't fare too well yesterday against the Texans.....the Jags aren't necessarily a 'safe' play

 

[Raiderfan32904]

This game is a must avoid both in terms of fantasy and reality. I'm sure there are points to be harvested, but I bet they will not be the usual suspects. It will be awful to watch anyway, may be I'll catch up on some sleep.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

beware ben Tate, Im sure alot of owners will be chasing those points

 

[nittanylion]

Hey, it's an AFC South Divisional Rivalry Game.

Those Teams always play each other tough.

Anything could happen.

If I repeat something enough times, it makes it true.

 

[Houston turmOiler]

If the Jags blitz relentlessly like last time then theyll win

 

[Raider Nation]

Now that the JV game is almost over, we can start concentrating on this beauty.

 

[Wadsworth]

Jax is red hot, on fire, winning 3 of their last 4 games!

 

[Sabertooth]

I'm starting Ben Tate if he plays (and I sure hope he does).

 

[Sabertooth]

beware ben Tate, Im sure alot of owners will be chasing those points

Not chasing points at all, but he's the best option I have. I'm expecting about 13-15 points in a PPR format.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

I agree with Bike Seat Sniffer. You are chasing points.

 

[lod01]

The loser should have to take Gabbert.

How about if Hou. loses, they take Gabbert and if Jax loses, they take Kubiak.
