Pro Football Weely writer Eric Edholm came up with a slightly different angle to rate the Texans chances this year & the brutel truth is I agree until the Texans can prove differently http://www.profootballweekly.com/2010/05/24/schedule-must-be-weighed-in-predicting-outcomes
who will be hurt by the schedule
Texans
Hows this for an opening trio? They get the Colts, winners of all but one of the franchises games in Houston, at home. Then its a road trip to Washington to face their former play-caller in Kyle Shanahan and what should be a much better Redskins team. And third, they get the Cowboys in Houston, and you can bet that Jerry Jones hasnt forgotten that Sunday night game, the first regular-season contest in Texans history, in which Jones Cowboys were embarrassed. Mind you, these all will be played without star LB Brian Cushing, who will miss the first four. It doesnt let up much at all. There are home games against the Giants, Chargers and Ravens, plus tough road assignments at the Jets and Eagles, as well as the Colts rematch in Indy, where the teams record is awful. Those ready to vault the Texans up to the next level had better consider this thorny schedule before doing so.
