2018 Schedule
 

2018 preseason opponents by week were announced today.

Week 1 @ Kansas City Chiefs
Week 2 vs. San Francisco 49ers
Week 3 @ Los Angeles Rams
Week 4 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Remember, of course, the Cowboys game was washed away last year by Harvey. It was temporarily rescheduled to be played in Arlington then cancelled. Texans are 5-4 all-time against the Crackwagon in the fake season.

Not long now until we see the regular season.

Official schedule due out today, right?

Then, one week till the draft....

The Texans begin the regular season with road games at New England and Tennessee and play their first home game Sept. 23 against the New York Giants.

------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday Night Football vs. the Cowboys in Week 5.

Week 8, Thursday nighter vs. Miami.

Week 10, bye week...not bad.

Monday Football at home vs. the Titans around T-giving.

A Saturday game vs. the Jets late in the season.

Not an easy schedule given the recent strength shown by the AFC South.....

Well, the counterpoint is that it is a last place schedule and on paper the easiest in the division.

That said, opening with 3 of 4 on the road, including two division opponents and the defending conference champs means that the Texans need to be hot out of the gate. Starting 2-2 in those first four games might not be too bad.

And the last two games @ Philly and home for the Jags should get the team focused for a tough finish.

A bye before the road trip to Washington is nice, then with the couple extra days before hosting the Titans is also a plus. And the Thursday night game is at home, usually a big advantage.
