Today’s Paul’s Picks episode is hijacked by the sad news that fan favorite utility gold glove winner Mauricio Dubón is headed to Atlanta in return for SS Nick Allen. But first Paul talks Texans and looks into a foggy crystal ball to see which NFL teams are gonna be winners this week. Then we take a peak at the 10-3 Rockets and their game in Cleveland. And finally get around to looking at the Dubón trade and what we think the Astros ownership and front office are attempting to accomplish. How emotional are you today H-Town? The sky is crying over here in LA because Carla and I are so sad. The sun’ll come out tomorrow…well, maybe not over here. I can’t predict the weather! I can barely predict winners. You’ll always have a home in Houston, Dubi.

Vamos vamos Houston.

The Texans win (even though it left a bad taste in the mouths of Texans fans and Titans defensive-linemen) and the Rockets continue to stay hot with a come-from-behind OT win against the Magic. We talk about the rise to mediocrity for the Texans this season, learn that CJ Stroud is out for another week, and discuss the game. Then we look at the Rockets great win against the Magic in a never-give-up effort that is making many fans excited about the potential for this team. KD, Al-P and…Reed Sheppard? That’s right, Reed has gone from whipping boy to social media darling as Rockets fans are excited about the young PG. We also talk Jose Altuve’s foot and say bye to Ramon Urías in The Astros Winter Hot Stove. Also, thank so much for supporting the podcast. It was a great week for us here. Thanks so much for all the support.

Welcome back to the only NFL picks show with the guts to admit it’s a comedy show! Come and laugh with me as I try to win my friends Sleeper league and I attempt to make weekly picks and hold myself accountable to them. How are you doing this season, fam? I also talk about the Rockets great start to the season and last but not least: Astros Winter Hot Stove begins and we start throwing out names to dream about, look at some comments from GM Dana Brown and start speculating about next season.

Not gonna lie, they had us in the beginning…the Texans and the Rockets both put on fourth quarter shows for fans of the H on Sunday. The Houston Texans have declared that their season is not dead yet with a 36-29 win. They are now 4-5 and have hope to turn this season around. How hopeful are you feeling H-Town? And then to keep the party going the Rockets had their own fourth quarter come back to beat the Bucks 122-115. (The Rox also lost to the Spurs in their NBA Cup group match but we don’t wanna talk about it.

It’s Thursday or Wednesday, so you know what that means: it’s time for Paul’s Picks. This week Paul does know what day of the week it is (maybe) and we go through the NFL lines and games to try to pick the winners. The Texans season is on the line this week as they matchup against divisional rival Jacksonville. Is it delusional to have hope still? Or is the season over now that we officially have the panic meter out? We also look back at a lack-luster season to see how we stack up compared to your season so far. But that’s not all, folks! We also get to talk about more Rockets winning and the Astros are officially getting ready for the next season of baseball that is just months away.

The Houston Texans are now 3-5 after struggling to score in a 18-15 loss to the Broncos. CJ Stroud will be out for at least one week and the Texans are in a bind, because they’re way behind but Nick Caserio wasn’t willing to make a deal. Luckily, we can also talk about the Houston Rockets. The Rox are on a 4 game winning streak-after a slightly slow start-and it looks like there is still some hope in Houston. Also, the Houston Astros are looking to hire Victor Rodriguez to be a hitting coach in Houston. The Astros winter starts now and we’re here for all the news and rumors.

Baseball season is officially over, free agency is about to begin and it’s time to get into your emotions as we look back at the Houston Astros 2025 season. We try to be even-keeled and laid-back over here, but this episode we go hunting for a scapegoat for what happened last year! We take a look at the usual suspects and rank them for who this pod blames the most. We’re putting the season to rest and ready to start thinking about the promise of next year. How would you rank the ‘scapegoats’? Who do you blame? Listen to the end for the real answer, H-town…

Vamos vamos Astros

I finally had a good week and you think that’d boost my confidence, but I’m too timid to be getting too spicy…we need wins not takes! We take a look at the matchups and do our best. We also don’t know what day of the week it is?? That’s right. The whole time I was recording I thought it was Thursday, but producer Carla never corrected me…so it’s kinda her fault too right? Also, the Texans are coming off of a win, but now they matchup against the Broncos and have a big prove it game. Nico and Christian are back…are the Texans back? We’ll see.

Vamos vamos Houston

The reverse jinx (that I totally intended…) worked and the Texans were able to win 25-15 at home. We look at the numbers a bit and look back at the game. We also talk about the negativity that has surrounded the Texans the last week. The Rockets lost a physical game to Detroit and apparently there is still some baseball still going on. Also in breaking sports news: gambling is may not be the most straightforward way to make money…and it may be crooked. *gasp*

And we’re back with more NFL picks in this never ending comedy bit that is Paul trying to pick the winners. Last week was unkind and forgettable, so we’re hoping to turn the corner and get a double digit win week. Easier said than done. We also go spiraling about the Houston Texans season so far and all the emotions that it has brought to the surface for fans. How are you holding up, H-Town? Let’s pick some winners or at least laugh at the losses this week.

Vamos vamos Houston.
