5 Bold Predictions for Houston Texans vs. New Orleans Saints in NFL Week 12

The Houston Texans are set to face off against the New Orleans Saints in NFL Week 12 action. What five bold predictions can be made for the game and what should fans be on the lookout for throughout the game? 

1. J.J. Watt Records at Least Three Sacks in the Game

There is no question that J.J. Watt is one of the most dominant defensive players that the NFL has seen in quite some time. He has been a major leader for the Texans throughout his career and isn't going to slow down anytime soon. Houston needs him to come through with a big game this week and Watt will record at least three sacks in the game.

2. Drew Brees Throws for 350 Yards, Four Touchdowns

Drew Brees is without question one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL and he will prove that once again this week against the Texans. He will throw for at least 350 yards and four touchdowns in the game. New Orleans has a very high-powered offense and Brees is going to put the Houston defense on blast this week.

3. Houston's Quarterbacks Throw at Least Three Interceptions

While the Texans are 5-5 and in the running for the AFC South division title, they don't have a legitimate starting quarterback. Whoever ends up playing the position throughout the game will end up throwing at least three interceptions. If there are multiple quarterbacks, there will be three picks combined between them.

4. Benjamin Watson Records at Least 80 Yards, Two Touchdowns

New Orleans has depended on Benjamin Watson to be a security blanket for Drew Brees this season. He has been a consistent target and is without question capable of putting up big numbers this week once again. Watson will record at least 80 receiving yards and two touchdowns this week against the Texans' defense.

5. New Orleans Comes Up with a Huge Road Win

If the Saints want to have any chance at making a move for the playoffs, they have to win this game. Houston is very vulnerable without a quarterback and New Orleans is going to have quite a few advantages. They have to capitalize on them and play to the best of their ability in order to have any chance at making the comeback into the postseason.
