The Houston Texans enter 2012 as the favorites to repeat as champions in the AFC South, but they've got a fairly difficult schedule to navigate. In addition to their divisional games, they host the Green Bay Packers and Baltimore Ravens while going away to the New York Jets, New England Patriots and Detroit Lions. Arguably the toughest part of their schedule is the three-game road trip late in the season where they play three teams that had .500-or-better records last year -- the Lions, Patriots and Tennessee Titans.
