The Houston Texans sit at 2-5 midway through the 2026 NFL season after an 0-4 start, with models projecting a 7-9 or 8-9 finish that places their win total market in a competitive range around 8 wins. C.J. Stroud’s efficient passing—over 1,700 yards with minimal turnovers—has kept the offense afloat despite a league-worst rushing attack and offensive line pressure. Defensive regression and recent losses, including a Week 7 overtime defeat to the Giants, have tempered expectations. A favorable remaining schedule featuring games against the struggling Chargers and Colts, plus the weak AFC South, offers a path to additional victories, while the approaching trade deadline and Stroud’s contract situation add variables that traders are weighing against the team’s current form.
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed team's regular season win total exceeds the listed number. Otherwise this market will resolve to "No". Only official regular-season games count. Playoff games, including Wild Card, Divisional, Conference Championship, and Pro Football Championship games, do not count. Only played games resulting in a win will count toward this total. If the listed team plays fewer games than scheduled due to cancellation, weather, forfeit, or any other reason, only actual wins recorded count toward the total; canceled or unplayed games do not count as wins. If the 2026 NFL regular season is cancelled, postponed after February 15, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, or it cannot be determined how many wins the listed team recorded within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No". The primary resolution source will be official NFL records (https://www.nfl.com); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
