Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

I had fun with this last year, let's try it again - Astros vs. Texans


Last year I poised the question which would take less - "The number of games it would take an individual Astros pitcher to win 10 games vs. the number of games before the Texans won ten games?".  Clearly the Astros won that one since the Texans finished 2009 with a 9-7 record.  Giving the Astros fancy for giving up runs so far this season, here goes this year's quandry -

"Do the Astros give up more runs by All-Star break than the Texans defense gives up points for all of 2010?'. 

 

Before anyone bashes the question, if a good baseball team averages giving up 4 runs a game over 81 games that would be 324.  A pro football defense gives up 20 points a game over 16 would be 320.  I think it's a fair comparison and a little sad to think about depending on which team you think has a better chance! :)
