CFB : 2* HOUSTON
The Texans are tired of having the moniker “Expansion Team” mentioned when people are talking about them. The franchise can only do one thing to drop that preface and that is to win. They’re in their 3rd season of existence and it’s time to make some strides towards respectability.
David Carr has 1000 yard man Domanick Davis behind him as well as Andre Johnson to throw to. The former Hurricane is approaching breakout status after catching more than 60 balls last season for nearly 980 yards. Houston covered 6 of their last 7 games at Reliant last season including SU wins over Atlanta, Jacksonville and Carolina.
Defensively this team was also shored up some defensively after ranking 31st last season in rush, pass and total “D”. They’re extremely high on LB Jason Babin out of Western Michigan who is drawing comparisons to another backer that Dom Capers coached in Carolina named Kevin Greene.
While the Texans are hoping to stride forward the Chargers are sliding the wrong way and cleaned house on offense basically bringing back an OL here and there and QB Brees along with of course Tomlinson. The SD defense allowed the 2nd most points in the NFL last season and in their road openers they’re 7-14 SU, 6-13-2 ATS.
