The Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs get ready for a noontime showdown at Arrowhead Stadium. Here are six bold predictions surrounding the encounter between two of the best first-round quarterbacks from the 2017 NFL draft.
second straight week staying upright
Anthony Wood — The Houston Texans finally managed to keep quarterback Deshaun Watson upright last weekend, can they do the same again this week? Yes. The Kansas City Chiefs have struggled to find a consistent pass rushing threat so far this year, and with the steady improvement Houston’s offensive line has shown of late I predict that for a second straight week they will not concede a sack.
duke johnson has a career game
Coty Davis — With Hyde not at 100 percent due to injury, I am expecting Johnson to take the reign with one of his best games of his career, with over 100 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a 31-27 road victory for the Texans.
who has the bigger offense?
Avery Duncan — Texans out-gain the Chiefs on offense. Normally this isn’t bold, but the Chiefs offense is world-breaking. However, the Texans offense isn’t far behind, and they will have the benefit of playing against a reeling defense.
carlos hyde hits the century mark
John Hickman — RB Carlos Hyde leads the way with 110 rushing yards and two total touchdowns.
tyreek suits up
Charles Goldman, managing editor, Chiefs Wire — WR Tyreek Hill plays for the Chiefs and gives them the much needed energy boost to propel them past the Texans in overtime.
jordan akins strikes back
Mark Lane — Jordan Akins returns and has a big game against the Chiefs secondary with another double-digit touchdown reception game as he goes against former Texans safety Tyrann Mathieu.
