2013 Texans Opponents

[HPF Bob]

Since this was written in 2009 for the 2010 season, the AFC West rotation should already be modeled for us.

Teams that have road games against Denver and Oakland will get home games against Kansas City and San Diego. The opposite scenario will also be true. The same format of home-and-away games with the paired cities holds true for the NFC as well.

In 2010, we played Oakland and Denver on the road (remember the Tebow game?)

Therefore, we should get Oakland and Denver at home, Kansas City and San Diego on the road. As for the NFC West, it's still an open question whether we get a road trip to SF or Seattle but apparently not both.

Two additional points:

1) It's just the coincidence that our rotation brought us the NFC West and the AFC West in the same season. This is apparently what happened to the NFC East in 2008 that prompted the changes.

2) While people might not be sympathetic about Houston flying to the west coast multiple times, the division also contains Jacksonville and Tennessee which are in the Eastern time zone (Indy might be too).
