Official Texans vs. Panthers Game Thread, 9/29/2019
The 2-1 Texans host the 1-2 Carolina Panthers this Sunday in an early game at NRG stadium. The Panthers got their first win last week in a road game at Arizona, winning 38-20. Panther backup QB Kyle Allen impressed in place of Cam Newton and is expected to start against the Texans. The Texans got a road win last week at the LA Chargers 27-20.
This is the kind of game that the Texans cannot afford to lose - they are mostly healthy, they are at home and they are favored. I think the Texans can make Allen uncomfortable and limit RB Christian McCaffrey. I've got the Texans winning and covering the 4½ pts. Texans 30, Panthers 20 ---------------------------------------------------------------- TV = FOX (channel 26 local), Sunday, noon, 9/29/2019 Announcers = Kenny Albert, Ronde Barber The line = Texans by 4 to 4½ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Other Sunday viewing in the Houston area: CBS (early) = New England @ Buffalo, Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts CBS (late) = Minnesota @ Chicago, Jim Nantz, Tony Romo ----------------------------------------------------------------- Prime time: TNF = Philadelphia @ Green Bay (FOX/NFLN) SNF = Dallas @ New Orleans (NBC) MNF = Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh (ESPN) |
0-3 Cincy at 0-3 Pittsburgh - great matchup, ESPN.
Green Bay gets their second Thursday nighter in one month - who the heck drew up that schedule? Back to the Texans, the real question is whether Kyle Allen is that good or Arizona sucks that bad. We'll know by about 3:00 pm Sunday. |
Other Sunday viewing in the Houston area:
CBS (early) = New England @ Buffalo, Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts CBS (late) = Minnesota @ Chicago, Jim Nantz, Tony Romo ***************** While local team is at home but has competition from another NFL game on the tube. That's not customary is it ? |
