Bills fan here but excited about this game. Nice matchup.

Texans may still get the w despite kube, as they have most of the season. but yates at qb playing handoff don’t count on it

The Texans linemen are going to be out for blood to protect Yates. Falcons are good, though, so I think we’ll see, at least once or twice, what kind of wheels Yates has. My understanding is that he’s significantly more mobile than Schaub or Leinart, who both have the mobility of a rock.

I think the Texans will target Dunta Robinson early, see if they can get something going against him, and get him rattled. He’ll start committing stupid penalties if he gets embarrassed on his old home field and the crowd lets him have it.

Interesting game.

HOU 19
ATL 16

Falcons minus some DBs…I could see it, but I’m sorry, Matt Ryan vs. TJ Yates? I’ll take Matt.

The Falcons have had alot of success recently with their no huddle, two minute offense that they will forget to run the ball with Michael Turner. If Matt Ryan throws the ball 40 times or more, advantage Houston. Houston 28, Atlanta 17. T-E-X-A-N-S Go Texans.

Very interesting game even with Yates in there.
