Arrow Houston Texans - over or under?

Houston Texans - over or under?

When I first saw the number of 7.5, I thought over. I figure they are an up and coming team and they could go 8-8.

But they have a brutal schedule

First 4 games
@ Pitt
Bal
@ Ten
@ Jax

Most likely 1-3

Then get Indy at home and 2 more Miami, Detroit. Not sure they can win all 3 but prob get Miami, Detroit. They do play Indy tough but still think they go no better than 2-1 here.

3-4

After a by week

Tough game @ Minny (prob loss)
Cinci at home (could win)

Let's say 1-1

4-5

They then have a brutal stretch

@ Indy
@ Cleve (in late Nov)
Jacksonville
@ Green Bay

This easily could be a 1-3 or 0-4 stretch

5-8 or 4-8

They finish with these 3

Tenn
@ Oakland
Chicago

They could win these 3 but 2-1 might be more realistic

Now not so sure they can get to 8 wins now

What do you think? Over or Under

Vegas set this one up just like the niners last year. The Vikes and the Texas are sexy pix on the pub but Vegas set this one low for a reason and didnt put it up to 8 to get that over money from the pub. 7 is tops here

And starting QB is in 2nd year...more exp with playbook...should be a help...this team may also be a cinderella team which is why Vegas placed the line where they did...thinking Public will favor the favorites...I predict over..but not by much..9 wins.

They are in the toughest division in the NFL, the AFC South. One key injury, and school is out. This is a team that I stay away from. They could go 10-6, or 6-10.

i agree with jim , i think this is will be a major sleeper team this year , if they can keep the qb healthy with a good young defense , i think they win 9 or 10 games this year !

biggest fade i know just told me today to watch out for houston..lol. His exact words are "Dude, they're gonna be the surprise of AFC South" That means they will be lucky to win 2 games now..this is same guy that told me Ben Roths was a fluke and would struggle his 2nd year and we all know how that ended.
