The early Super Bowl odds are beginning to come out of Las Vegas and the Texans are high in the conversation. Betvega.com has them at 12-1, trailing only Green Bay, New England and San Francisco. Denver is also 12-1. One service has set the Texans’ “over-under” for victories in 2012 at 10. McNair was asked for his reaction. “I think we are a contender,” he said. “That’s no surprise to me. I guess they got tired of losing money out there for putting our over-under number too low. They’re getting more realistic. A lot of things have to happen and you have to have some luck along the way. But there’s no question we’re a contender.”

Carmichael, Harris to bolster secondary depth

HOUSTON There was no time for rookie coddling, hand holding or intensive individual instruction. Post-lockout haste negated all of that. Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and linebacker Brooks Reed were forced to swim after being tossed in the deep end of the pool as rookies out of sheer necessity last season, and each showcased an inspiring amount of adaptability by contributing...
