Just when everyone starts to believe the 
Texans are for real, they lose as a 5.5 point favorite. Granted, there is no great shame in falling to the current version of the Raiders, but good teams are suppose to win at home.
So, will things unravel for Houston this year in the same manner they did a season ago? Through five games the Texans' record mirrors their 2010 effort, when they started 3-2 before going on to lose eight of their last 11 games. Despite the similar beginning, the 2011 team looks like a more capable unit, even with the loss of Mario Williams.
Houston statistically dominated Oakland last Sunday, posting 21 first downs and 473 yards to the Raiders 11 and 278, respectively, but two crucial turnovers prevented it from capitalizing on an obvious offensive edge. Get $50 in Free NFL Picks Here.
The Texans will get another chance to prove naysayers wrong when they take on Baltimore this Sunday. The Ravens, 3-1 overall and fresh off a bye week, are, no doubt, brimming with confidence as they head into Sunday's game with Houston, though.
Baltimore, which is 4-0 all-time against the Texans, has probably seen enough tape to know that Gary Kubiak's squad usually folds when the stakes are highest. The Ravens, conversely, are one of the more clutch teams in the league. Baltimore routinely steps up its game when the league's upper crust teams march into M&T Bank Stadium and it oftens squashes the hopes of those clubs looking to join the league's elite.
This game certainly provides the Texans an opportunity to make a big statement, but they have been afforded this type of opportunity before and failed to deliver. Seeing will be believing with this team; in the meantime, go with the more sure thing…Baltimore.
