THE PREDICTION

Houston Texans finished 4-12 last season and it could be another long year for them with QB DeShaun Watson looking unlikely to take the field as he seeks a trade away from the franchise. Some mismanagement in the front office has left them with an underwhelming roster that was unable to be complemented by talent in the draft owing to a lack of picks and that could tell here. They fact 1-15 Jacksonville Jaguars who seemingly tanked last year to take the first pick in the draft, choosing QB Trevor Lawrence who will make his debut here and the Jags can put last year’s terrible run behind them by getting this season off to a winning start.
