So, what’s the pathway for the Texans to win games in 2026?
Better yet, what are the projected win totals for every team on the schedule for Houston in 2026?
Even though it wasn’t enough for the division title, Houston finished with a strong 12-5 record, good enough for the highest wild-card seed. Once in the postseason, the Texans throttled the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round, but struggled to find any offensive consistency against the New England Patriots.
To repeat with 12 wins, it won’t come easy. Even though the Texans have the seventh-easiest schedule strength of schedule (based on last year’s results). Everything really comes down to the play of quarterback C.J. Stroud and the growth of offensive coordinator Nick Caley’s play design.
DraftKings has released its projected win totals for the 2026 NFL season. Even with the Texans’ impressive 2025 season, Houston’s expected win total is significantly less than that ahead of the 2026 season. But the good news? Their projected win total leads the AFC South opponents.
But what about the rest of their opponents?
