FINAL STRETCH AHEAD

After 13 grueling weeks of football the Texans finally enjoyed their bye week. What a grind it was leading up to the break. Houston sits right now at 8-5 and are in control of the AFC South.

Texans 8-5

Colts 6-7

Jaguars 3-10

Titans 3-10

So with the AFC South Title a near lock, it’s still about taking care of business in December with a stretch that’s been talked about and circled on the calendar since the schedule release came out in May.

What do you think about a stretch against the Dolphins ( NRG on Dec. 15), at KC ( Dec. 21) , and a few days later the Ravens ( NRG Christmas Day). What a run that will be !

I think the Texans will go 2-1 in that stretch losing only to the Chiefs. That would get Houston to 10-6 with one left at Tennessee on January 5th.

EYE ON THE POSTSEASON

If the playoffs were to start today the Texans , as AFC South champs, would host on Wild-card weekend. Here’s a look at the matchups as of now.

1st seed Chiefs (bye)

2nd seed Bills vs 7th seed Broncos

3rd seed Steelers vs. 6th seed Ravens

4th seed Texans vs. 5th seed Chargers

Buckle up! It’s about to get fun!
