After the Texans’ quarterback C.J. Stroud lit up the league in his rookie season, his second season under center was a quieter one. However, the 2025-26 season was worse as Stroud struggled with offensive line issues and a depleted wide receivers room. <\/p>
While the offense struggled throughout the season, Houston’s defense led from the front, especially the dynamic duo of Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter. The defense was the reason the Texans managed to make the postseason despite being 3-5 through 9 weeks of football. <\/p>
The Texans then went on a nine-game winning streak to finish second in the AFC South and make the postseason once again. In spite of a valiant effort in difficult conditions, Houston came up short against New England in the Divisional round of the playoffs. <\/p>
In the 2026-27 regular season, the Houston Texans will play 8 home games and 9 away games as part of the NFL’s rotation policy. From their customary 17 games, the Texans will play 6 games against the AFC South opponents.<\/p>
In the upcoming season, the AFC South teams will play against the AFC North and the NFC East as per the rotation. Therefore, the Texans will play 4 games each against teams from these two divisions. <\/p>
Since the Texans finished second this past season in their division, they will play the second-placed teams from the AFC East and the AFC West, along with the second-placed team from the NFC North.<\/p> Understanding <\/em><\/strong>how to bet on NFL games<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is crucial for maximizing the value of our expert picks and making informed wagers each week.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>Opponents<\/strong><\/th> Home\/Away<\/strong><\/th> Division<\/strong><\/th> Week<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead> Indianapolis Colts<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC South<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Jacksonville Jaguars<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC South<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Tennessee Titans<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC South<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Baltimore Ravens<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC North<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Cincinnati Bengals<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC North<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Buffalo Bills<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC East<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Dallas Cowboys<\/td> Home<\/td> NFC East<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> New York Giants<\/td> Home<\/td> NFC East<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Indianapolis Colts<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC South<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Jacksonville Jaguars<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC South<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Tennessee Titans<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC South<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Cleveland Browns<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC North<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Pittsburgh Steelers<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC North<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Los Angeles Chargers<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC West<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Philadelphia Eagles<\/td> Away<\/td> NFC East<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Washington Commanders<\/td> Away<\/td> NFC East<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Green Bay Packers<\/td> Away<\/td> NFC North<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>
