I think the word "trap" is a little strong. Trap I believe, usually refers to a favorite or a good team overlooking what is perceived to be a not-as-good opponent because they have a strong opponent coming up next. Last year when the Chiefs (shockingly) lost their opening day game to the Titans 26-10, they had Denver the next week. And ended up losing that one, too. Walter (above) makes the point that the Chiefs aren't really the favorite in this situation (vs. Texans). Still, they do have Denver on TNF next and that game is way more important to them than the Texans...
The Texans have a similar situation later in the year. They go to Atlanta and then come home for the Colts on TNF. Gonna be tough to win both of those....
