  • Key matchups include games against the Ravens, Chiefs, Broncos, and Bills, strategically spread across the season to avoid last year's condensed challenges.
  • Expert predictions for the Texans' season range from a 9-8 to an 11-6 record, reflecting optimism about their chances to repeat as AFC South champions.
  • Analysts highlight the Texans' upgraded defense, bolstered by the addition of C.J. Gardner-Johnson, while raising questions about the offensive line's readiness to protect C.J. Stroud.
