2012 Opponents

[HPF Bob]

By my shaky calculations, the Texans opponents for next year are almost determined.

Six games against divisional opponents, Indy, Tennessee and Jacksonville, home and away.

Four games against the AFC East - New England, NY Jets, Miami, Buffalo.

Two games against AFC division champions - Denver or Oakland in the AFC West and Baltimore or Pittsburgh from the AFC North.

Four games against the NFC North - Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay and Minnesota.

As a divisional champion, I'd expect we'll get a few more prime time games next year with Green Bay, Detroit and the AFC playoff teams the most likely matchups.

The schedule doesn't seem particularly tough or easy - just representative. A lot more will be determined in how the schedule is laid out.
