As many of you know I am a huge Patriots Fan, I have Season Tickets, and have gone to every game in the past several years. I ran across the post by @steemsports (**Great Idea! Hope to see it continued!**), as many of you have, and decided to do one of my own. If I do continue to do these it would just be for patriots games because that's all I really care about doing. Also I am not going to set up a any type of program to distribute bet winnings I'll just do them but hand for this one.

<center>**NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (2-0)**</center>

**New England's running game:** The Pats have leaned heavily on LeGarrette Blount, who is one of four NFL running backs with 50+ carries. The Texans, who have a stout front seven, rank near the bottom of the league in run defense, surrendering a healthy 4.9 yards per attempt.

With rookie Jacoby Brissett under center for the injured Jimmy Garoppolo (doubtful), Blount seems poised for a substantial workload.

Quick distribution: Whether it's Tom Brady or Jimmy Garoppolo or Jacoby Brissett, the plan should be the same: Get the ball out quickly to Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola and Chris Hogan.

The Texans lead the league with nine sacks, and they'll surely be eager to rattle Brissett with pass rushers J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus.

**STAT OF THE WEEK**

The Patriots limited Houston to seven first downs in their Week 14 matchup a year ago. It was the fewest number of first downs by any team in any game last season. <a href='http://blog.masslive.com/patriots/2016/09/new_england_patriots_vs_housto_2.html'>Read more...</a>

<center>**HOUSTON TEXANS (2-0)**</center>

**GETTING DEFENSIVE:** Whomever the Patriots put at quarterback, he will face a defense that ranks in the top 10 in seven categories. Houston's defense hasn't allowed a touchdown in six consecutive quarters.

**WATT WARMING UP:** Last year's NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt isn't quite back to full form after July surgery to repair a herniated disk in his back. But after getting 1 ½ sacks and recovering a fumble last week, the defensive end knows he's getting close. "It's just a continuous process of getting myself back and even better," he said. "The goal is to be better than before. I don't want to just be as good as I was before. I want to be better. It's a process of making sure that I do everything I can to get there."

Watt, who led the NFL with 17 ½ sacks last year, has 76 in his career.

**FULLER'S FAST START:** Houston receiver Will Fuller has a chance to make NFL history on Sunday. The 21st overall pick in this year's draft needs one more 100-yard receiving game to become the first player to start his career with three straight such games. Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins also finished with more than 100 yards receiving last week to give the Texans two 100-yard receivers in the same game for the first time since 2013. Fuller was drafted to take some pressure off Hopkins, and so far he's filled that role perfectly. However, Hopkins isn't quite ready to heap praise on the rookie. "He has a lot to improve on, that's for sure," Hopkins said. <a href='http://www.nj.com/sports/nfl/2016/09/nfl_tv_schedule_what_time_chan_2.html'>Read More...</a>
