Sure it’s only May, but what else do you have going on?
Last night the NFL did their best to make a non-event into an event by announcing the schedule for the 2025 season. Odds are, only the real die hards or the random few with absolutely nothing else to do on a Wednesday night tuned in to watch.
For a lot of the rest of us, social media, TV news and/or friends and family let us know. And for the casual football fan, they probably still don’t know what the schedule is or that it was released yesterday.
Anyway...
Here’s a look at the who, when & where of the Texans 2025 schedule:
Week 1 - @ Los Angeles Rams
Week 2 - vs Tamp Bay Buccaneers - on Monday Night Football
Week 3 - @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 4 - vs Tennessee Not-The-Oilers
Week 5 - @ Baltimore Ravens
Week 6 - BYE
Week 7 - @ Seattle Seahawks - on Monday Night Football
Week 8 - vs San Francisco 49ers
Week 9 - vs Denver Broncos
Week 10 - vs Glitter Kitties
Week 11 - @ BESFs
Week 12 - vs Buffalo Bills - on Thursday Night Football
Week 13 - @ Indianapolis Colts
Week 14 - @ Kansas City Chiefs - on Thursday Night Football
Week 15 - vs Arizona Cardinals
Week 16 - vs Las Vegas Raiders
Week 17 - @ Los Angeles Chargers
Week 18 - vs Baby Horses - NFL Flex Schedule dependent on playoff implications
If Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio, head coach Demeco Ryans and the offensive and defensive coaches manage to fix the trenches by week 1, here’s the predictions up to the bye week.
WIN Week 1 - @ Los Angeles Rams - Houston 1-0
WIN Week 2 - vs Tamp Bay Buccaneers - on Monday Night Football - Houston 1-0
WIN Week 3 - @ Jacksonville Jaguars - Houston 1-0
WIN Week 4 - vs Tennessee Not-The-Oilers - Houston 1-0
LOSE Week 5 - @ Baltimore Ravens - Houston 1-0
Week 6 - BYE
This puts the Texans at 4-1 going into the far-too-early Bye Week. If they can make it this far without any significant injuries, that bodes well for a great season.
WIN Week 7 - @ Seattle Seahawks - on Monday Night Football
LOSE Week 8 - vs San Francisco 49ers
WIN Week 9 - vs Denver Broncos
WIN Week 10 - vs Glitter Kitties
WIN Week 11 - @ BESFs
LOSE Week 12 - vs Buffalo Bills - on Thursday Night Football
8-3 isn’t too shabby and should have the Texans well within the AFC playoff conversations at this juncture. Now, Demeco Ryans has reversed the trend of losing to the Buffalo Bills AND the trend of getting demolished on nationally televised games. However, trying to do both in the same day might bring some late season bad luck...
WIN Week 13 - @ Indianapolis Colts
LOSE Week 14 - @ Kansas City...
