Bah, I'm holding out for 6-10 or 7-9.

Whatever it ends up, the off-season will be filled with how Bobby Mac, Rick Smith, Billy O and Tom Savage all suck and the team's play will not be attributed to injury or "other"....

Sean Pendergast looks at 49ers vs. Texans.

3. DeAndre Hopkins historical campaign
Ok, with the season basically over and with about half the Texans' original 2017 roster now on injured reserve or in concussion protocol, what else is there to watch for this Sunday? Hey, there's DeAndre Hopkins! He is still good at football, right? Why, yes he is, Texan Fan, and despite the injury to Deshaun Watson at quarterback, Hopkins is still putting up big numbers and making the NFL Network's highlight reel every week.....

Check out the kooky David Anderson paying-his-debt video at the bottom of the article.....

Like Sean, I'm picking the 49ers across the board in this one to assure a Texan victory.....

DeAndre is ridiculous. If by some miracle he ever gets a full season with Deshaun the results will be absolutely insane.

The list of QBs he's produced with is truly amazing. It also shows just how bad Osweiller was when any flunky who gets under center can make Deandre a star. Either way I hope for the Texans, the fans, and Hopkins himself that he gets the benefit of a full season of Watson next year.
