Will the Pats beat both the 49ers and Texans?

Will the New England Patriots win both their upcoming games with the San Francisco 49ers and the Houston Texans?

These 2 games will really define how far they have come and if they are ready for prime time.

If I had to pick, I'd say they split those games. Not sure who they beat or who they lose to though. Both games are at home, which helps, but those are two damn good teams (despite what Houston did on Sunday).

TBH, I cannot tell...i want to see how this D plays vs the Jets first..if we play inconsistent then you know what's going to happen vs the texans.

Also, as off late we've been giving up a lot of yards on the ground..and those two teams are GREAT running teams.

We def need to step back up our runD.

On the O, I don't see a problem with us scoring points.

I'm excited for these games..they're both chip worthy.

I definitely think we lose at least one of these games.

The Gronk injury won't help our cause, but right now, I'm leaning towards us beating Houston and losing to SF.

We saw how Aaron Rodgers and even Blaine Gabbert () were able to pick apart the Houston D. I like our chances more in that game.

On the other hand, we saw how SF shut down the Bears (though they had Jason Campbell) and the Packers this year. I'd say we lose this game.

I say we win both. San Fran a nail bitter and we are winning the Houston game because I'm going and they are 4-0 when I attend the game

The Bears O-line has more holes than a fishing net. We may lose that game it is very possible but to compare our O to the Bears is very very laughable.

I think we match up well against both these teams becasue they both have running-game based offenses. Our D can shut down the run all day compared to the pass.

I say we win at least 1 out of 2.

We beat HOU by 5-10 points and beat SF by 1-5 points.

We need to beat at least one of these teams.

I believe the Patriots win both games. The 49ers game is going to be a 20+ point blow-out and the Texans game is going to be shoot-out (60+ combined points) with the Patriots winning by 1 or 2 scores.

I'm pretty confident with this team right now, i say we win both. One by 2 tds and one close

All right, what about how they shut down the Packers with Rodgers?

I said to compare our O to their is laughable I didn't say anything regarding what their D did. Unless their O were responsible for shutting down the Packers O.

I think Houston has a much better chance at beating us, and I would not be surprised if it was by 10+ points. San Francisco looked amazing against the Bears, but thats due to the Bears being straight up awful more than anything else. The Bears are extremely predictable on D and Harbaugh new exactly what to expect. Not having Gronk def hurts though...

Yeah you're right about the Bears offense, but the 49ers D is dominant, shut down the Packers and Rodgers. GB's O IS similar to ours, thus there needs to be some caution in facing SF. That's what I said in my last post.
