The Houston Texans kick off their season this Sunday in Indianapolis against the Colts. Houston is one of only two road teams favored to win in Week 1 of the NFL.

Just last season, they were believed to finish as one of the worst teams in the league. It's wild to think how far they've come in a short period of time.

Which makes us question, are expectations getting too high for them this year? Or are the Texans ready to be one of the top teams in the league? Spoiler alert, the hype is real!

Plus, ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein share their thoughts on how they see Week 1 playing out against Anthony Richardson and company this weekend.

It's no secret, the big topic of conversation from the Winter Meetings is the Houston Astros and what the future holds for several of their star players.

Fans are starting to voice some concern about what the team could look like should they let Alex Bregman walk, and trade away Kyle Tucker and/or Framber Valdez.

Houston's social media team recently posted a video about the Astros young guns, and let's just say it didn't go over well in the comments. And the timing of this post is quite curious to say the least.

Which begs this question. Are the Astros doing what's necessary by moving on from players they don't believe they can re-sign, or are they on the verge of some big mistakes?
