Official Texans vs. Packers Game Thread, 10/14/2012

[Arky]

A number of people are picking Green Bay in this game. A couple of the ESPN "experts" and Walter over at Walterfootball likes the Packers so much that it is his October Pick of the Month. But, I wouldn't read too much into it - Walt has been in a slump going on a couple of years, now...

On paper, IMO, the Texans have the better team plus we have "less key injuries" than they do so the Texans should win. This should be a good opportunity for Schaub to assert himself as belonging among the best. I expect Rodgers to come out firing and to throw a lot - I don't see more than 12-15 rushes from them the entire game. The DB's need to be on their toes moreso than what we saw in the Jets game. (looking back, that Jets game reminded me of how a good, fundamental boxer sometimes has trouble with an awkward, unorthodox opponent.)
