[Houston Press] 2009 Season Record Predictions

[Bigtinylittle]

A wise man once said that great coaches don't go eight and eight, but that's my prediction for the Texans this year. My thinking is that after their first year, Smithiak's draft record has been spotty (Okoye, Jones, Bennett, Adibi, Harrison, Frye, and possibly Brown, and with Molden always seeming to be injured.) Still too many holes to be an above average team.

I can see them going 9-7, but anything above that will greatly surprise me. I stlii love them anyway, though.

Ok, I'll enjoy the Texans win or lose. Did this back during OTAs, but now we have had preseason(fwiw) and see who is on the 53 man squad/injured. so, since we hadn't lost yet, I'll stick with 12-4.

I believe us, splitting with Tennessee and Indy, will be a major deciding factor. Other than that we have some pretty easy competition. I think if we split those (2), win the games we are supposed to: Oak, SF, Cincy, Jack, and StL(6) we are at (8) wins.

Then it is down to: NY, Mia, Buf, and Sea: Can we win these?

I purposely left off NE. That is a wild card due to their playoff race at the end of the year.
