Houston Texans 2020 schedule predictions: Picking every game
Weeks 13-17
When the Colts come calling, it will be Houston’s first look at Philip Rivers in a new jersey. It will also be one of the close losses that will be pinned on the Texans this year. And unfortunately for the home team, there will be a few games that they SHOULD win, that they ultimately don’t.
The Texans take a trip to Chicago, to face an interesting Bears team that is trying to rebound from a rough 2019. The Texans have also never lost to the Bears in their previous four meetings. If all goes well, you can add another win for the Texans in this series.
This week sends the Texans to Indy to face the Colts, and a road win against a division rival is going to be pivotal to keep everyone from rioting, depending on how the season is going at this point.
In the midst of all the changes around the NFL, Cincinnati moved on from quarterback Andy Dalton, leaving top draft pick Joe Burrow to lead the charge. This could be one of those surprise games that sneak up on the Texans, and one that won’t go over well with the NRG faithful.
The Texans-Titans rivalry has been one of the most intriguing ones in the NFL, dating back to the Andre Johnson/Cortland Finnegan fight a few years back. Chalk up a big divisional win for the home team, one that will be much-needed. Houston needs to handle business against Tennessee, something it did last year with a sweep.
