1st Qtr. thread posts at 11:45 a.m. CT for the noon kickoff. Anybody care to predict the final score? I’ll say Patriots win 27-20. For the Patriots: 3 TDs and 2 FGs. Texans with 2 TDs and 2 FGs in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicates. Patriots rack up a ton of yards and TDs on the ground.
