A must watch game
20-17⚔️Vikings🟪🟨
Vikings fan. I have no idea who will win this one, but it should be a hell of a lot of fun.
texans fan here, no idea either. both teams defense have been sack machines all i know for sure is lots of scrambling for their lives
Facts
@@Khalmidgarboth these teams lowk could meet again in the super bowl . best game of the week for sure
We will tf
Vikings got it bruh. I have no dog in the fight but they look really good this year...on both sides of the ball.
The horniest matchup in football!
😂
I’m lost n the sauce mane help me out.
I don’t think people understand how funny this is.. I need to pay you for this comment
If Houston still had Watson definitely
😂😂😂
game of the week
No bias here I’m sure
For yall.. just don’t sell the game for us
Let’s go Texans!!!
Should be a good one
nha, vikings will blowout texans, 31-14.
22-10 is wildy disrespectful in either direction
the vikings are just like that
Yeah even if it’s all field goals it’s gotta be more than 10 unless CJ planning on not playing 😂😂
@@angelrey-martinez7946 Vikings have given up the 25th most passing yards per game.... Good luck against CJ
@@urk0522 buddy watch the games the stats don’t tell the story
@@angelrey-martinez7946 better defense, better QB, better WR core. Not saying the Texans are going to blow out the Vikings and the Vikings could even win the game. My only point was that 22-10 is a disrespectful and wildly uninformed prediction.
Idc flex this to Sunday night
Some of us adults have to get up early and do adult things.So no thanks.
as a texans fan, chiefs vs falcons is a pretty good game as well.
@@freeproduct666Yes
Vs the Falcons? Lmao no its not. Falcons are not a playoff team@@freeproduct666

Another tough one against a talented Texans team! Also gonna be the battle of former Texans & Vikings too, looking forward to it! SKOL!
Mans got scared to say To’oto’o so he just called him Henry T lol
Toe-uh toe-uh yup lol
Lmao also he tryna tell Houston fans about greenard like we didn’t just give him to Montessori and get autry to replace him😂
@@EyeNeedAllDat Autry isn’t playing
Who cares about tootsie tootsie 😅
At home for the Vikings again? The aura there is gunna be unreal. Good luck battling the Vikings defense and the crowd. BoL Texans, it's gunna be a good game.
And no cheese heads allowed 😉
What about Texans defense
@@Ze_Moose We gone see
@@chestercarter7949 texans defense that is arguably worse than the 9ers that just lost against the vikings?
@@Psiikix 7 sacks 11 QB hits last game, Vikings got sacked 3 times against 49ers you can't be serious
I have the Texans winning 24-21, but if the Vikings can win this game, they might be scary this season 👀
I got the Vikings … if Jefferson plays … he’s gonna cook the corners
@@critcritcrit465 Our wide receivers are going to cook the Vikings Dbs, is going to be a very goo game, game of the week

@@JadenSosa-kz2dwwon’t have time to pass lol
as a Texans fan I think this will be a good one.
Vikings fan and I agree. It'll be close for sure. Looking forward to it!
Should be a great game
wasn't---not even close-the Texans were completely out of their league--and if they continue to play like this watch Diggs start his pouting/complaining act--why do you think Buffalo was so anxious to get rid of him
@@bufnyfan1 yep sorry we traded him 2 you guys. I hope buffalo does well this year
The reason the Vikings gave up so much was poverty yards in the fourth quarter. If you watched the game you know the Vikings dominated.
If not for the stripped ball on the 1-yard line, the game would have had a very different complexion.
Exactly
Not dominating if the game is still close by a td soo....not a good argument buddy
@@FunGamerFever you clearly didn’t watch the game. The score was closer than the game was.
@@FunGamerFeverwatch the game before u speak
Just wait till we get Hockenson back and Addison fully healthy. This offense is gonna be a problem!
Why isn’t Hockinson in?? And when is he expected to return
@@lifegamechanger8572 He tore his MCL and ACL middle last season. They're looking at a week 5 or 7 return
@@lifegamechanger8572he will probably be back after our bye week, so week 7
Always an excuse on why you are going to lose.
@@markgiordonello6710then your a casual
I love the ending slide, 50/50 split. This will be a fun game to watch
it was boring--the Texans were completely out of their league (and Stroud looked just as lost as he was in last year's playoff game to the Ravens)
Been waiting on this all day like a crackhead
Bruh lol 😆 😂 🤣
Lmaooo yooo 😭
Early heavyweight bout here in Week 3!
What scares me is that the Texans have never beaten the Vikings in franchise history, but that can change this week!
6 sacks against the 49ers is VERY impressive, and I gotta give Brian Flores major kudos for this defensive turnaround. Another defense that can give Stroud headaches, but if Deebo can break 100+ yds and Jordan Mason can get a good game, then so can Nico Collins and Joe Mixon.
I have the Texans winning a nail biter, 24-17.
This gonna be one of if not the toughest defense stroud has faced. It is designed to confuse and frustrate to create mistakes.
It’s the game of the week.
Those box score numbers are misleading because Vikings played prevent defense in the 4th Qr in both game when they were up 2 scores.
Mason was great in the first half but the Vikings were running a very light person mostly for pass rush. They changed their personnel in the 2nd half and shut him down. Also that Mason kid is a beast. Takes multiple people to bring him down. Reminds me of David Montgomery
Honestly the 49ers biggest weak spot is probably their offensive line so the 6 sacks against them isn’t THAT impressive
@@Lop_321 well according to PFF 49ers OL > Texans OL
Vikings fan here. This is gonna be a great game!
Vikings by 5💪🏾😈

Your chargers are looking good this year as well happy to see that
@@newt4949 How about a deep Playoff Run for both teams, buddy! Let's ride to the Superbowl! I knew the Vikings were for real and people laughed, who's laughing now!!!
Texans all day
@@newt4949they beat the panthers 😂 Steelers gonna smack Herbert
Beating Trent Williams for a sack, twice, is the craziest stat from that game

the Vikings did--and easily too
Love the reference to St. Arnold beer, which is a local brewery/beer in Houston.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who caught that!
The castle cream ale is a reference to Castle Danger Brewery in Two Harbors, MN

GO TEXANS!
GO ASTROS!
GO COOGS!
I remember meeting the oners of St Arnold when they first got brewing. They gave my buddy 100+ cases of beer. Man we drank that stuff for over a year
Also Stefon Diggs’ first return to Minneapolis in 4 years
Totally forgot about that cannot wait to see that!
he was a complete non-factor--the Texans are going to find out fast why Buffalo got rid of Diggs for a few late-round draft picks. He'll start his pouting and complaining soon
Texans have no run game without Mixon, and simply put Darnold’s play cannot be compared to Caleb Williams. Stingley is good but Jetta is better. Vikings are continuing their war path. 27-20
Texans had no run game last year. Having a run game is like icing on the cake.
@@donna7059 Singletary did totally fine, and the lack of run game matters here because the 9ers were able to capitalize on a less than perfect run defense. Texans are getting cooked
Nah bro idk why you saying that and plus yall will probably be the ones with no run game considering that we stopped Jonathan Taylor to less than 50 yards and swift to 18 rushing yards, it’s going to be a really good game but to say that the Texans are cooked is crazy
@@Zeffpenguin Alright. 😏
@@donna7059no run game against Flores good luck brother
It's going to be another One of these days . Go Vikings SKOL
27-20 Texans, but man this is gonna be a tough fight. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s even closer than that. Let’s go Texans, and good luck Vikings! Can’t wait to see this epic match up!
34-7 Vikings---and Stroud was awful
😂 L
Doesn’t aged well
This is going to be a monster game. I'm flying halfway across the country to go to it.
Definitely a Vikings fan. Respect for their fans going anywhere
why did everyone think this was going to be such a "great" game--the Texans were completely out of their league and played like it
As a Houston fan I’ve been itching for this game since the bears and Texans game ended, it’s gonna be crazy from both teams
WHY---this game was a joke--and Stroud looked terrible
I’m gonna go for the better qb… GO HOUSTON
you mean sam?

Just so YOU know, Greenard played for Houston last year Goofball
He was being sarcastic... They're are like 10+ players from these teams that once played for the other.
This game 50/50 It can go either way but give me the Vikings 28 -21over the Texans
Texans will attempt to shut down the run and bring the pressure on Darnold who will hopefully see ghosts. Stroud will do Stroudy things. 24-17 Texans win.
What "Stroud things" did Stroud do??? he threw 2 INTs and looked confused and lost most of the game--he's NOT the second coming of Mahomes--not even close
Texans are my pick
you picked WRONG---very WRONG
@@bufnyfan1 Indeed
Skol baby😂😂😂
Vikings 34-21 defense will make the game flow there way an jjets will show why hes the captain an best wr ever since since his first game
Told you the Vikings git 34 points the defense was better than I thought they destroyed the Texans with one touchdown the entire game 7 points the better quarterback the better team
that close? amazing
Minnesota home is wats selling me for minnesota . Minimize the traveling they have to do while coming in with the momentum from the win off the 49ers aswell as jefferson getting to rest i see this as GOTW with purple taking it home 28-24💜
The Houston Texans coming off their home win against the Chicago Bears🔵🔴⚪️🐂🤟
The Minnesota Vikings coming off their home win against the San Francisco 49ers🟣🟡⚪️🧔
Vikings fan. Mad respect for the Texans and CJ. Both of our teams have benefitted from trades with each other and I love to see it. This will be an exciting game to watch!
Houston should be the favorite to win it all. Idk how they're not. Thus team is stacked on both sides of the ball and Stroud is simply AMAZING! Carolina has to be completely sick they muffled that one!
What about Chicago? Traded the #1 to Carolina, could have had Stroud, took Trubitsky over Mahomes 😭 Thank goodness we have Nick Casserio
@@ArnoldandSonsExteriors win all of what?

Good luck Vikings. We've shared several players & your pick got us diggs. Looking forward to a good one
Stroud on the road vs Flores defense in a noisy stadium 😬
Who cares lol act like he hasn’t beaten better D so far in his career
He has had to deal with noise before and he handled it well not to mention he almost never folds under pressure
He handled the Colts noise in week 1 😂
They will be fine.
They have a shot of winning the game if they don't make mistakes
@@GillGear_Og given Flores is the only person in the NFL running this particular scheme and with only 2 games of tape, I think you arent understanding what the real pressure is. The pressure is a defense that changes looks throughout the game and that causes even just a split second hesitation.
Maybe Stroud beats em, but I think Flores is out for blood and CJ runs into a meat grinder this game
@@BlackPhi1ip Exactly. In one play Flores showed cover-0, switched to cover-2 😂
Texans win 33-27 in OT
I always go with whatever team has the better QB, and in this case its far and above CJ Stroud. I'll take the Strouds but I think this will be a nail biter.
same and I'm a Houston fan lol
U honestly think a 2 year rookie QB is better then a veteran QB that has finally gotten on a good team/ top 5 offences and arguably the best wr core.... Ur delusional
@@4ucceveryb0dyhe isn’t a rookie if it’s his 2nd year…
@@4ucceveryb0dyyes I believe the qb who was a mvp candidate as a rookie and led the league in passing yards per game is the better qb. Just stick around, the bears, colts fans thought they were smart too
@@4ucceveryb0dyyeah he’s not a rookie.
Texans still have never beaten the Vikings.
Stephon vs former team, cashman and greenard facing their last year team, gonna be a good one.
Texans 24-17
You forgot the most important player, Hunter, who played for the vikings.
Let's go Texans! 🔥🏈
Vikes win 26-20
Flying all the way from Los Angeles to see this match up I’m so excited!!!
Darnold performance vs 49ers was more impressive than stroud vs bears
Vikings likely winning this one
Agreed
Even if we don’t have JJ I’m still confident in us getting the W
He’ll be good to go for Sunday Addison is still day by day I hope we have him too because we’ll need him Texans are more of a threat than the niners were
You trust Sam Donald? 💀😭 give me CJ
We will probably just won’t have Addison again though
@@lumineer_3 darnold is as good as anyone with weapons and a o-line through 2 games with what I’ve seen absolutely I trust him
@@lumineer_3obviously but the Vikings coaching is superior
Stroud made throw of the year...per Bellicheck.
Texans will get sick of Diggs too.
Vikes fan here, worried about this one, especially nico and that close defense. Lots of respect for Houston, those fans ready for more, and of course we are. All about fun. Being realistic I see Houston winning, but I said the same about San Francisco this time around.
After all these years I still can't get over the name Texans. It's like naming the Minneapolis Minnesotans, or the New York New Yorkers. Bring back the Oilers.
@@markgiordonello6710 you sound fearful
@@markgiordonello6710 Good pep talk, confidence is good, even if misplaced. Don't get me wrong, Houston is good, I'd root for them, just not this Sunday.
@@markgiordonello6710 I took a look at Texans schedule, I will be rooting for them most of their games, especially against the Packers, Lions, Cowboys, Chiefs, and Ravens. But I'm a fan of Trevor Lawrence, so..
@@bluethundar I like the Texans chances. Vikings without Addison and Hockenson, the weakness of the interior O-line, Stingley shadowing Jefferson with slanted coverage and a tenacious pass rush. We held Jonathan Taylor to one of his worst performances against the Texans, Jones is a good rb, but I believe Taylor is a top 4 rb in the league. The defense is good, but we have a few weapons to keep you off balance. Gonna be a barn burner for sure!
The Titans own the rights to the Oilers name and will never give it back. Fun fact, though: the final name for the new Houston franchise was split between the Texans and the Houston Apollos. I personally think the Apollos would have been cooler, and it fit the Space City theme.
I drafted Darnold in all 6 of my fantasy leagues. I got him later than the 12 round in the league. The guys in the league were clowning me. He's my backup in most, but I have 2 super flex teams with 2 QBs.
*_Go Texans!_*

Yeah never pick again lil boi
Stefon Diggs and Hunter coming back, will want to make a statement. Texans 31 Vikings 20
Keep dreaming
Vikings will win
Im a Texans fan all the way. These 2 teams are so talented and exciting when they play, especially when injuries arent a deciding factor. Im not picking here...lets just say I have mad respect for both teams and its a shame that either team has to lose! This game has the potential to be the "Game of the Year"!! As a Texans fan, Im just so happy that I can even be in the position that we're in to talk Texans football as a winner!! Its been quite a while since we Texans fans have been able to do that!!! Respect to the Vikings and lets go out as "Game of the Year".....😬
Houston Texans #1 27-21
Minnesota Vikings 34-7. And Stroud is supposed to be some kind of "elite" QB LOL
Its really going to come down to coaching pretty much.
I’m not afraid of Sam Darnold if we can bring the heat on them and cause some turnovers we should be fine. But at the same time Kevin O’Conelle is probably going to try to scheme to try to get the ball out of Darnold hand quick so Demeco needs to be ready for that
On the other side is Bobby vs Flores. Bobby coached a terrible game last week he needs to get Tank and Diggs involved more and maybe scheme some plays to get Stover and Schultz going to move the chains and hopefully Akers can get us something in the running game since I doubt Mixon and Pierce plays
Stingley/Kamari vs Jefferson/Addison going to be great matchup.
Overall whoever wins this game will be one who had the better coaching
I’ll say 24-21 Texans get the W probably off a last second Fairberin FG
Texans needed open up the passing game to have a chance against Vikings.
Hard to do with that o-line. If they don't fix it, the o-line will be their downfall this season
@@gregputman Not the o-line, just giving it time for the new pieces like Diggs and Mixon
@@FunGamerFever Have you watched the o-line? They've been terrible. Especially in pass blocking
@@gregputman Not that bad. Just working on new scheming and still early in the season
@@FunGamerFever I think they were pretty bad this last game. Every time the ball hits trout's hands He was almost immediately swarmed by multiple defensive players. He had to run out of the pocket and throw on the run almost every single time he dropped back to pass. But yeah, maybe they're just still getting it together. They better get it together fast though. We've got the third game coming up and they need to be ready to be effective.
Texans 27 to 20
31-21 Houston
Ouch wrong team.
Can’t wait for this game! 🤘🏽
This will be a fun game to watch. CJ is the real thing. Sam having a good comeback. It will end in this game. Texans win by ten 31-21.
Respect Texans fans good game to y’all no matter who wins
Skoldiers! Mount up.
Vikings will conquer!
@@SolitariusLupus7 Texans win by 6
@@FunGamerFever
It's going to be the game of the week for sure!
I'm a Vikings fan and I think this will be a close game. What I do like is the Vikings defense going up against a great but young QB in CJ Stroud. The Vikings confused Purdy last week with several different looks on defense. They hyped up Hunter for the Texans but his part time replacement in Minnesota Patrick Jones II has 4 sacks in 2 games.
This game should be flex going to be good
Hope not! Vikings play better Noon home games. They always play bad in prime time games
I think it gonna be one of those games last play decides the game
Game of the week here this is a 50/50 game but I’m going to go with houston
Houston Texans 23
Minnesota Vikings 21
Texans fan here, this one scares me. Vikes already beat SF which Houston is modeled after, granted different teams. Plus, Houston Oline is very suspect. But overall, I think this is going to be a defensive grudge match, again, with the winner by three or less points.
Texans 2O
Vikings 23
Flex this to Sunday night it’s too good of a match up
🤣🤣 I told ya Texans! Keep dreamin! Call us in the future when ya have a real football team...
