The Texans come into the 2014 season after a disappointing 2013 campaign left them at 2-14 and with the first draft pick. However, Houston’s luck may have changed because they picked Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) as their first pick. He brings talent to the already seasoned Texans defense which includes defensive end JJ Watt. On the offensive side, Case Keenum will likely slip into the starting position at quarterback after the loss of Matt Schaub. Arian Foster (RB) and Andre Johnson (WR) will be Keenum’s two main weapons, but there will need to be other go-to-guys in order for Houston to be successful.
Regular Season Record Prediction: 6-10
Houston Playoff Prediction: None
