Forsha: If the Texans play like they did in the second half against the San Diego Chargers I see Houston improving to 2-0 on the season. If they play like they did in the first half of that same game … well, it won’t be a good day for the reigning AFC South champions.

I see the Texans more like the team they were in the second half, but they must work on their defensive backfield, because in my opinion that was they biggest “red flag” I saw with Houston Monday night.

If I have to pick a winner I can see the Texans winning by by more than that 8.5-point spread.
