The problem with Houston is even if everything fires on all cylinders and they become a top 5 team in the NFL this year (a bit optimistic, but possible), they are still only the 3rd best team in their own division.

While I believe they are easily a playoff caliber team in skill, the Steelers/Bengals/even Raiders likely have the inside track because those teams don't have to play 4 games against the Colts and Jaguars. (The Raiders don't have to play any, but the Steelers and Bengals [and Browns] do have to play the Jags and Colts and Texans).

No doubt about it though, the Texans will be above average in both offense and defense this year, and that does warrant a much better rank than 13, IMO.
John Clayton says the Texans are a team to watch in the AFC, if that means anything to you.
