2006 Record |
6-10 |
7-9 |
8-8 |
The team was an average squad for football betting players going 7-9 against the NFL betting spread. They were 8-8 for football betting players that preferred to go for totals in NFL betting lines. The offense was again poor under David Carr and he was discarded in the off-season. The Houston Texans will always regret not taking Reggie Bush in the draft because DE Mario Williams is just an average defensive lineman.

Life must be miserable for a Houston Texan or NFL betting fan. Every football betting year it’s just more of the same nonsense. This team seems to have an allergy to winning because whenever it seems like they’re getting close to win on the football betting season they back as far away as possible. The 2006 football betting season started with high hopes for this franchise. After having the worst record in the universe in 2005’s football betting time period they celebrated by taking the first pick in the draft that included Reggie Bush, Matt Lienart, Vince Young and others. The Houston Texans selected Mario Williams. Great choice Houston. So, while all the other top picks went on to, shine Williams had a very mediocre football betting year, even being outplayed by the team’s second round pick, DeMeco Ryans who was pleasant surprise. Ryans was named the league’s defensive rookie of the year and with good reason. The rookie outside linebacker led the team in tackles with a whopping 156 to go along with 3.5 sacks and a couple of picks during the football betting season.
Ryans was the bright spot, the rest of the team was the same as usual. Just when it seemed as though QB David Carr was going to have break out football betting season he had another pretty awful performance. He finished with only 2700 yards passing. His completion NFL betting percentage was high, and the sacks he had to endure were down (only 43 compared to his career average of 50) but he just couldn’t get the job well done for the football betting season. He had 11 touchdowns and 12 picks and QB NFL betting rating of 82, which wasn’t great but wasn’t that awful either.
The other skill positions were up and down. Receiver Andre Johnson had another big football betting year catching 103 balls. He racked up 1147 yards on 11 yards per catch average and had five touchdowns. Eric Moulds was brought in during the off-season to try and fill out the receiver corps and give Carr the corps he needed, but he was only mediocre catching 57 balls for 500 yards and change. Running the ball during the football betting season, the Texans were absolutely awful. Ron Dayne was the team’s leading rusher and only managed to total 600 yards. Although he did have some pretty impressive performances against the Super Bowl champ Indy Colts, running them into the ground giving them a worrisome loss.
The offense as a whole was pretty awful once again and pretty worrisome for new head coach Gary Kubiak. It ranked 28th in the league out of 32 teams and scared no one. It was 28th in points per game with an abominable 16 points per outing. It was also 21st in rushing yards per game and 27th in passing yards per game with 173 yards. Those were very bad NFL betting stats for a very bad football betting season team.
On defense there was nothing to write home about either. The team was ranked 24th in the football betting league in total defense. It was 25th in points per game allowed. It was 20th against the rush and 22nd against the pass. Both areas that hurt this team and helped them on their way to 6-10 record and yet another last place title in the AFC South football betting year.
Aside from Ryans who dazzled his rookie year, there weren’t many bright spot on the defense for that football betting period of time. Number one pick overall Williams was less than impressive with only 47 tackles and 4.5 sacks. After Ryans, there was huge drop off in production for the football betting season, although Morlon Greewood looked solid making plays and racking up 110 tackles and three fumble recoveries.
As a team this group of Texans showed very little. There was that win over the Indy Colts that was a real feather in the cap, but then there was also all those other losses that really began to add up at the end of the football betting year. The mistake to take Williams over Bush was felt almost immediately, as the running game is a glaring hole for this team and Williams did almost nothing to deserve his huge signing bonus. The best NFL betting stat that this team has was fourth down conversions. The team successfully converted 9 fourth down attempts which tied for seventh in the league. That was the team’s best NFL betting statistic. And when tying for seventh in fourth down conversions is your best stat it says a lot about your football betting season. Mainly that it stunk.
