HOUSTON TEXANS (4-12)
Strengths: Houston beefed up its running game this offseason after ranking 31st in the NFL by averaging just 91.6 yards rushing a game. David Johnson returns, looking to bounce back in his second season in Houston after a subpar 2020. He’s joined by new additions Phillip Lindsay, Mark Ingram, and Rex Burkhead, giving the Texans plenty of options in the backfield. Weaknesses: The passing game will certainly take a major hit with QB Deshaun Watson not expected to play for Houston this season amid 22 lawsuits alleging sexual assault or harassment, plus a trade request. Veteran Tyrod Taylor is expected to start in his place and although he’s looked comfortable in camp, he’s nowhere near the playmaker Watson is. Houston’s secondary is also suspect and won’t have top cornerback Bradley Roby in the opener against No. 1 overall draft pick Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars. Tipico Sportsbook Says: Win Super Bowl: 200-1. Over/under wins: 4.5.
