Expectations for the Houston Texans tend to vary depending on which betting site you visit. Most sportsbooks however have the Houston Texans' win total set around 5.5 to 6.5 games for the upcoming season.

But the Texans do have a very soft schedule, at least on paper. With that in mind, ESPN Houston's Jeremy Branham made a case for the Texans to come away with nine victories this year, while wearing his Texans “homer hat.”
