7 of 16 games against playoff teams (including the Titans twice), and five of those seven are at home. It's not a favorable schedule, thanks to winning the division especially, but seems it is quite manageable. Also, several of these games are good candidates for primetime slots, which helps my Watson-is-worse-for-noon-kickoffs theory.
Cold weather used to be a big thing for Houston teams of the past, but I think the softening of rules aiding passing offenses makes this less of a thing anymore. Plus, being a dome team seemed like more of an unusual thing a long time ago when now maybe not so much?
