2012 Schedule

[Arky]

Some tidbits about the 2011 schedule:

The Texans were 10-3 (8-4-1 ATS) when they clinched against Cincy in Week 14 with 3 games left to go last year. They finished the season on a 3 game losing streak (Carolina, Indy, Tenn) but defeated the Bengals (again) in their very first playoff appearance.

Before the season started last year, I thought that schedule was kinda middle-of-the-road, neither a cakewalk nor a gauntlet. This years schedule seems to be a little tougher so I'm hoping the Texans can up their game.

NBC's Al Michaels promised the Texans would be on Sunday Night Football this year.

I think Baltimore is the most likely PT home game because we've actually developed some history with the Ravens. Certainly not saying it's a rivalry type of game with them that they have with the Steelers for example, but we've played them in a couple close games in the last year or 2 including a very spirited playoff game in Baltimore last year.

I thought that was Bob Costas, or did Michaels say something too?

Unless things go horribly wrong, I see at least a 10-6 record with that schedule.

I'd say 10-6 is right on target. I see 8-4 (with losses to GB, Balt, NE and our annual inexplicable division loss) with these four road games being the difference between 12-4 and 8-8:

NY Jets
Chicago
Detroit
Denver

With all four games, I could see us losing or winning any of them for a number of reasons.

Yep, that's it. Don't know why I remember it as Michaels - getting old sucks.
