Houston Texans at New England Patriots

The Houston Texans travel to New England to play the New England Patriots today.

The QB matchup is between QB Matt Schaub and QB Tom Brady. This year Schaub has had 4008 yards passing, 24 TDs, and 12 interceptions. Brady this year has had 4827 yards passing, 32 TDs and 8 interceptions. Brady has a big lead in this matchup.

The HB matchup is between HB Arian Foster and HB Stevan Ridley. This is an excellent battle. This year Foster has had 1421 yards rushing and 15 TDs. Ridley has had 1263 yards rushing and 12 TDs. Foster barely escalates past Ridley here in this matchup.

The final matchup is between WR Andre Johnson and WR Wes Welker. Johnson this year has had 112 receptions for 1598 yards receiving and 4 TDs. Welker has had 118 receptions for 1354 yards and 6 TDs. Johnson wins this matchup by inches.

In the end though, the Patriots should come out superior. The Texans have to further develop all of their positions to win in this conference. Patriots, 38-24.
