The Texans will finish the 2020 season with a 5-11 or 6-10 record

I think that the Texans are going to stink next year and be like 5-11, 6-10.

The 2020 Houston Texans finished 4-12, making PFT's prediction very accurate regarding their 'stink' level, though they slightly underperformed even his low win total.

My week one strategy is just basically bet on the teams that sucked last year.
