Official Texans @ Raiders Thread, 12/21/2008

For reasons unknown, we are always terrible when we are the favorite. You would think that as infrequent as this is, the Texans wouldn't take it for granted. However, it seems like every time we're favored, they act like they won the game just by getting off the bus.

For the life of me, I don't understand why teams like the Patriots can keep their intensity up for 16 weeks as the favorite but we think we're God's gift to football after winning a couple games and can just go through the motions.
