Summary: The New England Patriots are once again in the playoffs and after their bye week, they kick off the divisional round with a matchup against the Houston Texans. The last time these two teams met, it was in Week 4 of the regular season where a Jacoby Brissett led team shutout the Texans 27-0. The Patriots are the fourth team in NFL history to be favored by 16 or more points in a playoff game, and it’s for a reason. In order to win this game the Texans would have to keep Brady & Co. on the sideline and Houston's offense is mediocre at best to try and achieve that. Pats offense is too high powered and there defense will be able to cause turnovers against this offense. The Patriots have been on a tear heading into the postseason and they have had ample time to prepare for Houston, just ask Bill Belichick. Join Mike Molyneaux and Marvin Ezhan immediately following the game for all the latest opinion and analysis. Special guests Harris Rubenstein of the Patriots Beat podcast as well as Tyler Trudeau of CLNSRadio.com will also join the show. Call in toll-free at (929)-477-2386 and share your thoughts!
