Maye Day! Maye Day!

I must say I covered my bases nicely with the headline. If the Pats win there will be a celebration for the 2nd-year fella. If he loses and gets sacked multiple times, that’s what he’ll be yelling.

To The Game!

Texans/Pats:

-One of the reasons that I think Houston can take this is because Maye hasn’t faced a top 12 defense the entire year.

-A second reason that I think the Texans will prevail is because the Pats lost to the only playoff team they played this year. (that sked was very generous)

-New England is favored by three and the O/U is 40.5 (seems high)

-That nasty Texans D doesn’t need to blitz in order to get pressure. Maye vs the blitz was phenomenal though-12 TD’s and 0 INT’s was his line during the regular season. Of course, he was doing it against lesser competition.

-Should Stroud get time to pass I think the primary recipient will be Jayden Higgins. Kirk put up a wonderful 144 yards last week but that represented less than 50% of his yards to date.

-Speaking of Outliers: Stroud’s 5 fumbles last week have scared Texans backers and made neutrals wary. Thing is, he only had two the previous 17 games. (he did have 8 INT’s though)

-Secret Weapon?: After receiving only one lonely carry in 2 of the last 3 tilts Chubb had 10 last week and did it at a 4.8 clip. Them Texans need to grind the clock and this fella might be the answer.

-Stroud is only the 4th QB to start and win a playoff game in his first three years but gets no credit for doing so.

Do your best.
