I probably won't watch. It's not an intriguing matchup and it will be a blowout.

My Brady dis-like aside, I dont know if the Pats have "Blowout" in them right now until they get some bodies back

Really hoping the Pats come out like their hair is on fire to rack up some points early in the game.
Also praying that JJ Watt has an off day. There's a guy playing out of his mind of late, scary.
My thinking is that they really were overlooking the Eagles last week.
On a more positive note the special teams will get their shit together for this game. No more cutesy pie trick plays.

It's the Texans. The Patriots don't need much to be able to handle them easily.

Pats win pretty comfortably, 27-13 like

Just dont think they have that 45-13 game in them right now

Thank you for your time and patience

There's all kinds of rules regarding which games can be flexed. Ideally NBC and the NFL are looking for a close matchup with lots of national interest between two teams with playoff aspirations. But they can't just pick any game they want to pick, as there is a limit on the number of prime time games a team can play in a season, and CBS and FOX both have the right to protect certain games from being flexed. Additionally, the decision to flex a game has to be made with quite a bit of advanced noticed, something like two weeks.

I believe the Patriots/Texans game was flexed even before the Patriots lost to the Broncos (although I could be wrong about that).

....I don't think any remaining Pats games will be ''blowouts'',......hopefully we got another ''wake-up'' call last sunday,......24-20/Pats.

....I believe it was flexed right after that game, a couple days afterwards.

Love them AFC Superbowls. Seriously though Cinci has a real shot this year


Dawned on me that the Steelers played last Sunday night, so I guess that explains that
