Texans
2025

Ravens/Seahawks weeks 5 and 7, 1-1
49ers/Broncos/Jaguars weeks 8-10, 2-1
Colts/Chiefs weeks 13-14, 2-0
Cardinals/Raiders weeks 15-16, 2-0

Sometimes it happens. But the Texans played two terrible home games including one against a team they never lost at home to. Texans had their best record with Stroud despite not really having the best year thanks to one of the easiest second half schedules. I don't anticipate that being the case again.

2026
Bills/Bengals weeks 1-2
Titans/Jaguars weeks 5-6
Chargers/Browns weeks 9-10
Colts/Ravens weeks 11-12
Steelers/Commanders, 13-14
Eagles/Packers weeks 16-17

This is no 12-5 schedule that's for sure. I think Jacksonville will win one of their London games and Houston is on the latter part where Jacksonville plays better. I don't see consecutive division wins away furthermore. They play an easier game after the Chargers, but travel across the country. I think going on the road after a bye has not been a strength for the Texans. The Chargers have rebounded before against Houston, and this is in the middle of the year when they usually play great. I can't imagine losing to the Browns. If they pull off both wins against the Steelers and Commanders, they'll turn around and lose to the Jaguars. It's gonna be 2-1 either way. I can see 1-1 against Eagles and Packers but it's tough. They have not beaten the Eagles. As for their home games, I have to consider 3-1 and not 4-0. I think the Colts are due for a win and they play better on the road. There is a downside to the Bengals trapping the Texans if they beat the Bills. The Texans I expect will lose 5-7 here. I will go 5-6. Their other games are against the Titans, Jaguars, Colts, Cowboys, and Giants, all possibly winnable games except maybe one of the Cowboys or Giants. I have to consider Texans haven't had a winning inter-divisional record since 2009.


Colts
2025

Dolphins/Broncos weeks 1-2, 2-0
Titans/Rams weeks 3-4, 1-1
Raiders/Cardinals weeks 5-6, 2-0
Jaguars/Seahawks weeks 14-15, 0-2
49ers/Jaguars weeks 16-17, 0-2

The injury changed a lot of things. But the Colts swept their earlier home sets with only one tough one on paper. They went 0-2 at Jacksonville and Seattle. They almost beat Seattle. Had Jones played, that's a win. I would also wager they beat Jacksonville as well.

2026
Commanders/Steelers weeks 4-5
Vikings/Jaguars weeks 7-8
Cowboys/Dolphins weeks 9-10
Eagles/Titans weeks 14-15

Any chance they had of getting back at Pittsburgh became tougher having to play in London before that. They have a chance to win in Minnesota but it's a tough atmosphere. The Dolphins are clearly the more winnable matchup, but I would wager they don't lose to the all three of the Steelers, Vikings, or Cowboys. Titans are likely going to get the receiving end treatment after the Colts lose to the Eagles unless the Colts beat the Eagles which I doubt. I do see 5 losses here though. They have tough games against the Ravens, Bengals, Giants, Chiefs, and Texans times 2. They're flirting with another 8-9 record if they can't win three games here. They need 4. That may include sweeping the Texans back.


Jaguars
2025

Chiefs/Seahawks/Rams weeks 5-7, 1-2
Raiders/Texans, 1-1
Cardinals/Titans, 2-0
Colts/Jets, 2-0
Broncos/Colts, 2-0

The fact that Jacksonville won some games in the manner they did is impressive. They did get lucky with the Jones injury as they probably do not win the Colts game week 17. The Cards were on the early side of the road trip, but they were not good anyway when they played. The game was close still and if after Tennessee, I could have seen a loss there.

2026
Eagles/Texans/Colts weeks 5-6 and 8
Ravens/Titans/Giants weeks 9-11
Texans/Cowboys weeks 15-16

I expect then to split London and go 2-1 in that month span. They probably will split Ravens/Titans and lose to the Giants because it's a third straight road game with the Giants on extra rest. They could go 0-2 against Houston and Dallas, but they could honestly win at either place. This has 4-5 losses added to losses accrued from a difficult first place schedule against the Steelers, Broncos, Patriots, and Bears.



Titans
Not gonna bother with 2025 as they were a bad team.

2026
Jets/Eagles weeks 1-2
Giants/Ravens weeks 3-4
Cowboys/Jaguars weeks 11-12

Extremely small sample size. They have a chance to win week 1 but they may not be strong enough to continue winning at home against the Eagles, but a back to back home again with an improved roster coming off a loss helps otherwise. They have a possible shot against the Giants or Ravens coming off an international game. I don't expect wins at Dallas and Jacksonville. This is 4-5 losses here with quite a few more losable games. This isn't their year unless they completely surprise.
