*4-6

We'll win. But it won't really matter since there's no way we win out and even if we do there will be other teams at 10 and 6 lololol sucks to be a Lions fan.

[****ed in DET]

Who gives a ****?!

[JWO35]

Knowing the lions, they probably win this game and then lose to the Colts & Cardinals!

joy... stack up on beer now.. inlaws and a big fst L...

[LionsFan..LOL]

Good thing I get to come home after this game. I can drink/eat all I want and not have to go anywhere after.

Lions +3 / Texans -3 is the spread. Feel pissed off after a loss or let the comfort of winning money ease the sadness? Easy pick right?

I think this could be closer than most think though.

For as dominate the media makes the Texans out to be you would think they would control the games they are in better. I still think the lions can win this one...its a short week though and our offense is struggling.

In four starts this season in place of veteran Corey Williams (knee), Fairley has 16 tackles, four for loss and 3.5 sacks.

Fairley better start again

I actually think you guys have a good chance to beat the Texans. Houston's DL is strong against the run, but outside of Watt they really don't pose a huge pass rushing threat. Since you guys don't rely on the running game and you have a really good pass protecting unit, you should be able to move the ball down the field with relative ease assuming Stafford & Johnson can replicate what Henne & Blackmon did.

Suh and Fairley are explosive enough to get in the backfield and disrupt their zone blocking runs and you really should have no trouble tackling Foster and Forsett. Only problem I see is Andre Johnson vs. your secondary, especially on play action where Andre could get single coverage looks deep.

Should be a really good game, I don't know for sure if the Lions will win it considering this year you seem to have a knack for losing the close games you won last year.
