Texans Odds to Win Super Bowl

Houston Texans head coach and general manager Bill O’Brien certainly catches his share of grief and criticism from fans and media. While a portion of it is justified it must also be stated that O’Brien has done better than most other members of the Bill Belichick coaching and management tree. In six seasons as head coach O’Brien has a record of 52-44 with five winning campaigns.  For 2019 Houston finished 10-6 straight up but just 7-8-1 against the spread for the 2019 season. The Texans won the AFC South Division title and made the AFC playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years. But they will never live down blowing a 24-0 2nd quarter lead in an eventual 51-31 loss at the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC divisional playoffs. It was the ultimate reality check.

This offseason has seen considerable roster change and key losses of top producers, which has added fuel to the fire of Houston fans tired of what they perceive to be franchise mediocrity.

The most controversial move of all was to trade Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to Arizona. Hopkins, who had 1373 yards receiving in 2019, leaves a large hole in the offense.

Taking Johnson’s spot as the top receiver is Will Fuller, a five-year pro that caught 49 passes for 670 yards and three touchdowns in 2019.

Another key player lost was free agent running back Carlos Hyde, who ran for 1162 yards last season.

David Johnson will take the place of Hyde after seeing limited action with the Cardinals last year. While at Arizona, Johnson ran for 1239 yards in 2016 and 940 yards in 2018.

Deshaun Watson is the epitome of a dual threat quarterback and has been instrumental in making the Texans into a consistent contender in the AFC South. O’Brien values his consistency but Watson will be under more pressure in 2020 with Hopkins and Johnson having departed.

On the defensive side JJ Watt gets a lot of media love but he was only able to play in eight games last year. There are concerns that the 10-year pro is wearing down from the NFL grind. Watt has played only 32 games the past four seasons.

Perhaps the best thing that the Texans have gong for them is their division. Their AFC South rivals Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, and Jacksonville Jaguars are not at all dominant. Perhaps Houston can back into the playoffs yet again. But they are nowhere near championship caliber.
