The Texans +12.5 is far too many points for an NFL game coming off a win

The Texans... Plus 12 and a half. That's a lot of points in the NFL, especially in week two, especially coming off a win. Too many points. You can feel safe walking in anywhere between now and Sunday being like too many points. So many points. Too many points.

The Browns beat the Texans 31-21. The Texans covered the +12.5 spread, making the take correct.

Taylor Heinicke has 'it'

I think Taylor Heinicke has it. I don't know what it is. He's got something. He's got it. The Heineking is what they're calling him.

Heinicke became a cult hero in DC but eventually settled back into a journeyman/backup role, suggesting he had the moxie but lacked the high-end talent to be a franchise savior.

Standalone primetime NFL games that look bad on paper are almost always guaranteed to be awesome

If anything we've learned with the NFL... when you have a game that you say to yourself, this game stinks, it's a standalone primetime game. It is almost always guaranteed to be fucking awesome. Because that game ruled. It was chaos.

This is a subjective 'rule of thumb' about sports entertainment that can't be objectively proven.

Daniel Jones is the fastest player in the NFL

He's the fastest player in the NFL that's what next gen stats taught us last year he was faster than Lamar Jackson

While Jones did record the fastest top speed in 2020 (21.23 mph), he is not consistently the fastest player compared to Tyreek Hill or Lamar Jackson.

The Browns cannot make a serious playoff run

Could they make a run to the Super Bowl? No. Yes or no. Yeah. Think of the Browns. The Browns aren't good. We know the Browns aren't good.

The Browns' eventual playoff performance will determine whether they make a serious postseason run.

The Giants are a strong play with the points

I love the Giants nine. JJ McCarthy was phenomenal last week. You look great. The Texans are not great.

Hank predicted the Giants would be a strong play with +9 points against the Texans. The New York Giants defeated the Houston Texans 27-21 in overtime on October 25, 2026, winning the game outright and easily covering the spread.

I bet a lot of money on the Patriots to win the Super Bowl.

The Patriots' 2026 season and Super Bowl outcome are not yet resolved.
