The Houston Texans aren’t really expected to be in contention for the AFC South. They are expected to finish last place in the division.
According to Tyler Sullivan from CBS Sports, the Texans have a difficult journey to even win more than five games in 2022.
While the Texans may be able to surprise folks at times next year, their road isn’t easy as they have the fifth-hardest schedule based on their opponents’ win total projections. Even some of their more winnable games next year are on the road: at Bears in Week 3 and at Giants in Week 10. For Houston to see five more wins, they’d likely need to take care of those games, beat the Commanders at home in Week 11 and sweep the Jaguars in the division. Asking a team like the Texans to pull out three road wins just to get in the conversation of this total may be too big of an ask.
