New York Jets vs. Houston Texans
Look for the Texans to come out running the ball with Wali Lundy (404 yards rushing) and Samkon Gado (213 yards rushing) at the Jets run defense which is allowing 146.2 yards rushing per game and 4.6 yards per carry. The Texans will then attack the Jets secondary which is allowing 207.2 net yards passing per game. David Carr has played pretty well so far this season, and his receivers should be able to have big games as long as the Texans line gives him enough time to throw. Andre Johnson (74 rec, 884 yards) and Eric Moulds will have a huge advantage over the Jets corners.
The Jets will probably come out running the ball with one of their backs. Coach Mangini has been rotating the backs so it’s hard to figure out which one will get the ball. The Texans allow 125.2 yards rushing per game and 4.5 yards per carry, so the Jets will no doubt attempt to run the ball. Chad Pennington has had a rough time throwing the ball lately, but the Texans have a horrible pass defense. The Texans allow 226.9 net yards passing per game.Â
This game should be higher scoring than it looks like it will be on paper. I think the Texans have more talent, but the Jets have been very lucky this season.Â
