2026 Houston Texans Preview: Roster, Odds & Win Total
Andy Monitor and Drew Dinsick break down the 2024 Houston Texans, arguing the team is overrated despite an elite defense, with a broken offensive line limiting their real ceiling.
The gist
-
The offensive line ranks dead last in the NFL and losing Tytus Howard while Braden Smith got hurt made things worse.
-
C.J. Stroud threw seven turnovers across two playoff games last season, suggesting the offense is structurally broken despite his Rookie of the Year award.
-
Nine of the first 12 opponents have above-average pass rush units, and a brutal late-season road schedule will expose the offensive line.
-
The hosts say betting the under 8.5 wins at plus 200 odds is better value than the market, projecting a 7 to 10 win finish.
