Brandon Scott, who grew up a Texas fan, is not here for the whining and politicking to get them into the College Football Playoff. If they make it, congratulations, but they don't necessarily "deserve" to get in just because they dared to open the season on the road against Ohio State. B.Scott explains why these arguments are embarrassing. He also weighs in on the Lane Kiffin vs. Ole Miss spectacle that was kind of hilarious, professionalism be damned.

Reed Sheppard had 31 points on TWENTY-FIVE (!!) shots in the Rockets' win on the road against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. Brandon Scott didn't even want to get his Thanksgiving started without talking about it first.

The Texans host the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football, without starting quarterback C.J. Stroud for their third straight game. ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime joined B.Scott on the podcast to discuss the state of the .500 Texans, sitting at 5-5 going into this pivotal game against a tough opponent on a short week. Are the Texans just mid? Are they actually good? How's Nick Caley doing as first-year offensive coordinator? What about some of their new weapons, both young and old? Where do they fall in the AFC wild card race pecking order. They discuss all of it here.

C.J. Stroud did not participate in Monday's walkthrough at Texans practice, which makes it seem less likely that he will play Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. Brandon Scott says they could win the game even without Stroud. Subscribe to The B-Block podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

The Houston Rockets rallied from down 14 points to beat the Orlando Magic in overtime on Sunday night. They did it behind Kevin Durant's 35 points and a clutch shot by Alperen Sengun to send the game into overtime. Also, it may have been boring in Tennessee, but a win is a win. It seemed for a while like the Texans might blow an opportunity to beat the worst team in football, but a last-second field goal put them ahead in the end. Brandon Scott is here reacting to it all with you on The B-Block.

If the Texans recover this season, they will have their backup quarterback, shuffled offensive line and slumping edge rusher to thank.

 The Houston Texans have no excuses against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday and it's not just because Lamar Jackson's officially been ruled out with a hamstring injury.The Ravens defense is Swiss cheese and the version of it the Texans will face could be even worse. These are mostly the backups to one of the worst defenses in the league. It's a unique opportunity for the Texans, who Brandon Scott is picking to win 27-24 and improve to 2-3 at the bye week.Subscribe to The B-Block podcast wherever you get your podcasts.The B-Block is a partnership with Foolish Club Media.

It stinks here in Houston, more than usual. That horrible smell is coming from the Texans' offense, which does a poor job of getting to the red zone and does not cash in the rare times it does get there. Don't allow them releasing safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to throw you off the scent of what's really wrong with this team. Brandon Scott has them beating the Titans, but that's more about the Titans than the Texans. The B-Block is a Foolish Club Media production.

The Texans' season opener against the Los Angeles Rams left a lot to be desired. It doesn't exactly get easier for them in the home opener on Monday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Houston has its hands full, with Tampa's defensive front, with Baker Mayfield and strong group of weapons. Brandon Scott breaks down the matchup, but not before he bemoans the fact that his college football teams don't look very good at the moment.
