Texans’ offseason recap
You’ve seen the “This Is Fine” meme. That little dog sitting in the flames trying to be positive is either new GM Nick Caserio and/or head coach David Culley … because it’s a dumpster fire in H-Town right now.
QB DeShaun Watson expressed his dissatisfaction with the team and demanded a trade. Then some off-field issues surfaced, making him untradeable. It’s uncertain if he will have a change or heart, or even be eligible to play.
The team also jettisoned long-time sack artist and the face of the franchise in DE J.J. Watt. So, this is a team looking for a new identity, but one which appears to be a rudderless ship.
RB Mark Ingram takes over for RB Duke Johnson as the primary backup to RB David Johnson, who had his contract restructured. QB Davis Mills, the team’s third-round pick out of Stanford, might be the heir apparent under center depending on how the Watson situation shakes out. WR Nico Collins out of Michigan, and TE Brevin Jordan from Miami give the team a couple of promising skill position players for the future.

Houston Texans Super Bowl 56 and 2021 NFL futures picks
No. Don’t even think about. You’d have a better chance of winning a prop for “Yes: Will the Texans to secure the No. 1 overall pick in 2022?”
A bet on the Texans +2000 to win the AFC South would also be a poor choice. The Jacksonville Jaguars will be better with QB Trevor Lawrence under center, the Indianapolis Colts are trending up again, and the Tennessee Titans are the premier team in the division.
NO (-650): WILL THE TEXANS MAKE THE PLAYOFFS? is a certainty, although I hate to tie up money like this long term, especially for such a small return. But if there is one futures bet that is a lock, it’s Houston missing the playoffs. The Texans are terrible on both sides of the ball, and they’re hitting the reset button.
UNDER 4 WINS (-110) is worth a look. This team is a train wreck, and 3-14 or worse looks pretty good after reviewing the recently released schedule. Keep an eye on Week 7 when the Texans visit the Arizona Cardinals, who have former Houston stars Watt and WR DeAndre Hopkins.
