You would have thought the Texans would be playing in a full stadium following Stroud's success. A lot of empty seats.

Detroit fast out the blocks and have scored two touchdowns in the first quarter. Saints turned over the ball giving the Lions a short field.

Houstonians have notoriously not supported their teams, except in playoff situations and when their teams are winning often. This especially applies to the NFL. The Oilers struggled for years to fill up the old Astrodome and they had some good teams back in the 80s into early 90s. Choke artists frequently but good, solid teams led by Warren Moon.

Can we assume no-one else outside of the Ravens, Eagles, Cowboys, Chiefs and 49ers (in no particular order) are the only likely contenders for Lombardi? With Dolphins hoping to go deep too.

Can't remember a season with such an array of teams where you'd be changing your Super Bowl pick each week.

Don't rule the Dolphins out. Their offense is explosive and their defense is beginning to click.

Lions are tearing it up. 21-0 in the first quarter and Derek Carr running for his life so far!

Big blow for Houston, they scored a TD to lead 10-0 but rookie Tank Dell was carted off injured.

Dolphins defense, dare I say it, is becoming top tier

Weird because Texas is football country with high school stadiums playing to sell-out crowds.

I'd love the Jets to win 2-0. Proper football score.
