Former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney is starting to play good as well, and that’s great news for the Texans defensive line. “In some ways it’s very disappointing”.

Why did he choose the New England Patriots back in 2009?
For the first time this season, the Unconventional Preview is coming at you after back-to-back losses.
Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots celebrates a touchdown with Julian Edelman against the Steelers. According to the oddsmakers, the Over/Under (O/U) is now at 44 points. Hopefully, your team seeded in first or second place to get that elusive first round bye.
The Patriots once-high-flying offense has been tempered without Edelman and Gronkowski, Brady’s two favorite and most productive targets. “There was no need to be cute”, said Merloni. It’s been a long time since a Bill Belichick coached Patriots team has made such an ill-advised play. Oddsmakers aren’t feeling the love for the Patriots right now, especially after that ugly defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles. Brady is also one of only two players in the entire game to have a 99 awareness rating, joining Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald on that lofty perch. Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford was held to 14 of 24 for a mere 120 yards and two touchdowns.
Will the New England Patriots rally on the road and stop their losing streak at two games?
“Hopefully I’ll be throwing to all the receivers this week and there won’t be many more passes to me”, Brady said. By contrast, Tom Brady completed 29 of 56 for 312 yards, three touchdowns and a couple of interceptions in their Week 13 game. “It was poor execution by us”. The Patriots haven’t lost three consecutive games since 2002. So, if the playoffs started today the Patriots would be hosting the wildcard game at Gillette Stadium. Slowing down the NFL’s sack leader won’t be easy for the Patriots’ offensive line.
While fantasy sports is typically about identifying individual players who will generate the most points, it also helps to know which teams are the most fantasy-friendly, and this season, that is the New England Patriots.

Houston needs to win their last three matches in order to clinch AFC South. Because they lost to the Bills, they’re not a game behind from several teams for the wild card. QB Brian Hoyer will capitalize on one-on-one matchups with WR DeAndre Hopkins, but it would be a surprise to everyone in the building if the Patriots showed that look often. He may not have the history in Houston that he had in New England, but his reputation preceded him, and it’s given him clout. J.J. Watt figures to be a focal point, as he could have an enviable matchup against Patriots right tackle Marcus Cannon. “I think when you face the type of adversity we’ve faced the last few weeks – nobody likes to lose games”. “I think I’ve been through that, and I’ve passed that time”. Share your observations, thoughts, and musings about all things Houston, Texan, and/or Patriot in real time in the Comments below. Kickoff is at 8:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Dec 13 and will air on NBC.
