What record do you think the Texans need for the 1st seed in the AFC and home field advantage in the playoffs?
They had it in their grasp last year before choking it away the final month of the season.
Texans in the playoffs: 2-0 at home, 0-2 on road. Their schedule is difficult so it's going to be tough just going 12-4
I am thinking with luck we could do it with 11-5.
Patriots: without Hernadez and gronk back surgery this summer as well as Welker. They could easily slip some, but knowing BB and Brady they will be right there at 11-5/12-4
Broncos: I feel like this might be the year for the Peyton Manning Broncos. i have a feeling they will take 1st seed. With the addition of wes welker they should benefit.
Ravens: Had a pretty high turnover rate on players if i remember right. They lost Ed Reed and Ray Lewis which were staples of their defense so it will be interestin to see what happens there. They are the Superbowl Champions and i believe majority of their offense is coming back, but they are beatable. Flacco is good, but he isnt a Brady or Manning.
Honestly i don't see much in the AFC South, but they are all improving and improving quickly
I dont think the texans will win that first seed, and i have a hard time seeing them getting to afc Championship, but it is possible and if Deandre comes in and does what we are all hoping they have a solid shot!!!
