"Sunday's matchup between the New England Patriots and the Houston Texans will be a nail-biter as they continue their NFL playoff run. Boston.com readers are feeling mostly upbeat about the game - though not without some nerves. In an informal poll asking readers to weigh in on the matchup, a strong majority (71%) said they feel good about New England's chances, while 29% said they feel negatively."
"Jeff from Natick said the Patriots' confidence and all-around skillset makes them well-suited for a decisive win against the Texans: "The Patriots are hitting on all cylinders: defense, offense and special teams. As long as the team can keep turnovers and penalties to a minimum, there's every reason to believe that the Pats can advance in the playoffs against the Texans.""
An informal poll found 71% of respondents feel good about New England's chances, while 29% feel negatively. Several respondents cited the Patriots' balanced strengths in defense, offense and special teams and cited confidence that minimal turnovers and penalties could secure a win. Other respondents highlighted concerns about the Patriots' rookie quarterback Drake Maye and the offensive line's ability to handle Houston's elite pass rush. Some expect a defensive battle with the Patriots' defense matching up well against Houston's. Overall sentiment leans positive but includes caution about quarterback experience and pass‑rush protections.
