Prediction
There will be no prediction for the Houston Texans season wins. The Texans will have a new starting quarterback, a position they have struggled to remain consistent at, and the most important position on an NFL team. Defensively, they will remain solid on the defensive line with J.J. Watt. However, this team will take on a totally new identity this season and it will be hard to gauge on how they perform this season so I am passing.
