That is the just the law of averages again. Texans had a lot of low penalties and a lot of TDs, so averages caught up with them, they didn't score any TDs and had a few extra penalties. By the way, how did the law of averages catch with Ravens? We already gave up 7 TDs in our first game, it was only logical that we'd tighten it up. So what do I expect for the Ravens next Sunday? Naturally for the Ravens to give up a few TDs to the Bills, and possibly even lose the game to go 2-2 (which I wouldn't complain about by the way).. I also expect Patriots to lose in Atlanta because (a) its the Georgia Dome, (b) Atlanta hasn't choked on offense instead Dolphins got a lucky play and Falcons defense actually improved in the loss to Miami with 5 sacks so there is something to build on (c) the Law of Averages dictates there is just NO WAY that Patriots will rise to 4-0 (when even they admit they've been getting really really lucky) while the better Falcons fall 1-3 at home??

Averages are the name of the game, and its what makes sports so damned exciting for for a short moment, we think we glimpse a team beating the average. However, nobody beats the Law of Averages just like nobody beats Father Time, an given a large enough sample size of games played, it always evens out . Sports becomes so much more predictable than it isn't..
