The Bucs are sort of like the NFC version of the Bengals. They are easy to overlook and never seems to have better talent than their opponents yet they always manage to be their most dangerous when you least expect it.
The Texans have not had to push themselves the past three weeks so I think they will carry good energy as long as they aren't looking past this game to the bye week. I think Foster/Tate has found their confidence behind that OL and if they can establish the run early, they should be able to take out the Bucs.
What we don't know is how well the Texans are in dealing with prosperity. Do they sense the momentum they are building and find another gear or do they get too self-satisfied and become sloppy on the road before the bye? We'll find out some things this week that the Jags and Browns couldn't reveal.
