16. Houston Texans 5-3 (20)

The 5-3 Texans spent like five other teams, sitting and watching in week nine.  Their bye week likely came at a good time for them.

The Texans standings may say 5-3 but they have played more like a 3-5 or 2-6 team lucky enough to pull some games out.  Yet, here they still sit in first place in the AFC South, for now.

The Colts and Titans are making a push right behind the Texans though, so they have work to do if they want to win a second straight division crown.  This week they head to Jacksonville.

Jacksonville is desperate for a win but if the Texans can not beat them, no matter where the game is played, then the Texans probably do not deserve any mention of the postseason in the same breath.

Tough home games against AFC West foes loom large after the Jags this Sunday.  Both the Raiders and Chargers come calling on November 20th and 27th respectively.  The Raiders game will be played in Mexico City on Monday Night Football.
