The Patriots are far better coached, have momentum with a two-game win streak and match up well to demoralized Houston. 
The Texans rank last in run defense and second-to-last in rushing. That's a horrible combination made worse by meeting the Patriots, whose strength is running the ball and pass defense. 
New England is averaging 173.3 yards rushing during its past three games. The Patriots rank third in rushing. Cam Newton is 40-of-52 for 392 yards and a combined 4 TD's during the last two games, victories against the Ravens and Jets. The Texans have only six takeaways, second-lowest in the league.
The Texans lack chemistry done in by an early brutal schedule, mismanagement and Bill O'Brien's blundering. O'Brien was a terrible on-the-field coach and Romeo Crennel is not an improvement.
