There seems to be some discord between O'Brien and the front office. Also Romeo Crennel is now assistant head coach of the team. The QB battle will be between a rookie with no starts and a vet QB that hasn't had many starts either. The defense lost its best player in the secondary AJ Bouye as well as Quintin Demps. JJ Watt will be back and the defense will be depending on him especially with things uncertain on the offensive side of the ball. Bovada has the Texans at 8.5 wins for 2017.
