Matt Schaub and the Houston Texans will host Colt McCoy and the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at Reliant Stadium. Colt McCoy’s lack of any downfield passing acumen will allow Wade Phillips to tee off. Even if he plays, Peyton Hillis has yet to be a factor this season, and the Browns are going to need to find a way to control the clock and prevent a shootout because in a shootout they lose big. It’s tempting to take Colt McCoy in his “homecoming” trip to Houston, but he’s struggled in Cleveland’s short-passing offense of late and there’s just not enough firepower on that offense to keep up with Houston.
Our Prediction: Houston 34 – Cleveland 17
