It’s like flipping a coin. Just because I got 1 heads and 7 tails in my last 8 flips doesn’t have any effect on what I get on my next flip.

With a coin flip, it’s a true 50/50 prop each time. Fortunately, the Chiefs have a much better chance than 50/50 tomorrow.

According to ESPN's computer, the Chiefs probability to win is 89%.

Looking at the teams head-to-head:

Our offense is ranked in the top 5, their's is something like 15th. Our offense is more efficient, both in yards/play and points/play. We score about 28.5 points/game, they score about 23. Our OL is ranked in the top 10, their's around 20th. We gave up 25 sacks, they gave up 49.

On defense, we're ranked in the top 10, they're ranked somewhere around 20th. Our defense only gives up 3rd down conversions about 34% of the time, theirs about 50%. We can consistently generate a pass rush with our down four DL, they can't. To get pressure, they will have to manufacture it by bringing LBs/S/CBs. Our secondary can play man and put the brakes on Hopkins and Fuller. Their secondary can't play man against Hill, Watkins (who didn't play in the first game), and Hardman. And they have no answer for Kelce.

And our rushing defense has finally turned the corner with the addition of Pennel, Clark getting healthy and the addition of Suggs. Also, Hitchens didn't play in that game either. Say what you want about his play, he's been consistently getting our front-7 lined up properly pre-snap. And it's made a big difference.

Carlos Hyde won't be running wild in this match-up.

And that right there is probably the biggest reason they won that game. If you look closely, Watson didn't beat us with his arm. He threw 30-42 for 280 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs. Not great. It was their running game that beat us.

And that won't happen tomorrow.

And as for coaching. Even without Andy's incredible record after a bye, he's far better than Bill O'Brien. Billy O' doesn't do anything better than Andy.

Spags is better in all respects than Crennel. And Spags is far better at making adjustments.

As long as something ridiculous doesn't happen, like a meteor crashing into the Chiefs sideline during the game, we got this, people.

#Texans S Jahleel Addae (knee) and TE Jordan Akins (hamstring) will not travel with the team to Kansas City and have been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs

Quick question? Would you guys want to resign Breeland or draft a CB.

FYI Ward and Breeland led all CB Duos in the least passer rating combined in the NFL

How exactly does one redecorate sign somebody?

As expected...

For everyone who’s been asking, WR Will Fuller will play against the Chiefs. Texans average 7 more points with him. They were 2-3 without him in regular season.

Addae is a big loss though. They’re already without Gipson. Being down to your 3rd FS against this offense with an already bad secondary could be disastrous.

Hasn't he been nursing a groin injury? Those are kind of scary. Was he full practice all week? If not, I'm gonna guess he's only about 75%. Spags will find a way to put him in a closet.

Not to mention one of their premier corners is Phillip Gaines

He will re injure it in the first quarter. This guy is glass. Even if he was 100% he probably wouldnt finish the game healthy. Great talent but just isnt built to play football.

[Red Dawg]

Thier secondary is not very good.

[VAGOMO 4 LIFE!]

Their CB Jonathan Joseph is also listed as questionable

I predict he will not finish the game. Sprinting 50yds down the field full bore on a gimped up groin. Texans just trying to make us waste time game planning for him.

I don't necessarily agree about the DC comparison. Crennel has always been good.
