The official 2010 season Texans prediction thread

[Arky]

OK, the 2010 preseason is complete and just a few more tweaks are needed for the final roster. So, it's time to reach inside and find your "inner Nostradamus" and post your prediction for the number wins for the Texans in 2010.

My reasoning:

a. I'm looking for Schaub to raise his game a notch. A few more TD passes, a few less INT's.

b. Arian Foster - run, baby, run.

c. Defense gets the traditional slow start but finds their groove faster and ends up better than 2009's defense.

d. Special teams - I see the kicking game as OK but I think all the new faces on the coverage teams as a weak spot for a time. Most important that the Texan offense covers up for them....

For some reason, I'm getting a vibe that 9-7 just ain't gonna happen this year. I dunno why.... but I'm gonna go with it. Therefore, that leaves 8-8 (or worse) or 10-6 (or better). The optimist in me wants to go 10-6, the pessimist in me wants to go 8-8. Optimist wins. My predicition = 10-6.
