Episode Details

It’s GAME DAY in Houston — and this one feels different. 🔥
We’re locking in a Texans vs Steelers pre-game breakdown with the matchups that will decide tonight’s game and a prediction that might shock some people.

Is this the first step toward Houston fulfilling the prophecy?

Let’s start with the obvious: FEED NICO.
The Nico Collins vs Joey Porter Jr. matchup is massive, and if the Texans want to dictate this game, Nico has to be a featured weapon.

Then there’s the chess match in the red zone.
Nick Caley vs the Steelers’ red zone defense is one of the most important battles of the night. Houston has been one of the worst red zone defenses, while Pittsburgh has been one of the best. The good news? The Texans have improved — and that growth HAS to continue. Caley can’t play scary. He has to be masterful.

And for C.J. Stroud — this is where greatness shows up.
When the Steelers give you busted coverages and clean looks, you have to punish them. That’s where CJ has been elite all season. Be GREAT.

Everyone says the Steelers will attack Houston with the quick game… but here’s the twist.
Pittsburgh lives on YAC yards:

2,372 YAC (2nd in the NFL)

Houston?

Only 1,587 YAC allowed (7th in the NFL)

The Texans take away YAC, especially underneath — and they have the DBs to do it.

So how does this end?
Final prediction: Texans win — BIG TIME.
