NFL analysts project Houston Texans as favorites to win AFC South

Nineteen NFL analysts recently provided their predictions for the upcoming AFC South title race. The Houston Texans received 15 votes, while the Jacksonville Jaguars earned three and the Indianapolis Colts received one. The Tennessee Titans were not selected by any of the participating analysts. The Houston Texans appear to be viewed as the primary contenders due to their defensive strength and offseason additions intended to improve their running game. Conversely, the Jacksonville Jaguars enter the season following a 13-4 campaign last year where they secured the division title by finishing with eight consecutive wins. Jacksonville has prioritized roster continuity throughout the offseason rather than implementing new schemes, with staff members noting that the team is using the lack of outside recognition as motivation for the new year.
