Marc Vandermeer and John Harris put the 2026 season on the record. On this Friday edition of Texans All-Access, the guys go division by division across the NFL — recusing themselves from the AFC South — and lock in a winner and a surprise team for all seven of the rest. The AFC West gives them the most trouble. The NFC North is a coin flip. The NFC East gets sorted top to bottom, and both hosts land in the same place.

Before the picks, Marc takes you inside Season Premiere presented by Amegy Bank, the Houston Texans Foundation night that celebrated 25 years of impact. He shares the backstage moment he loved most — introducing Texans Legend Glover Quin to Kamari Lassiter and Calen Bullock, two eras of Houston defensive backs meeting for the first time. Andre Johnson and Travis Johnson brought the energy for the Legends against the current locker room, and the night raised significant money for the Foundation.

John Harris then pulls the best of Executive Vice President/General Manager Nick Caserio's appearance with Sean Pendergast and Seth Payne on 95.7 The Fan. Caserio breaks down what rookie Keylan Rutledge has shown across five weeks of camp, how the offensive line group has taken shape with Aireontae Ersery, Evan Brown, Trent Brown and Blake Fisher, and how veteran Wyatt Teller has handled a new scheme. Caserio also offers an encouraging progress report on Tank Dell.

John closes by walking through the NFL.com writers' Super Bowl LXI forecasts, where the Houston Texans drew votes from Kevin Patra and Gregg Rosenthal — both built on the same premise: this is the elite defense in the National Football League.

Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills at Reliant Stadium is September 13.

Marc Vandermeer and John Harris open Week 1 preparation on Texans All-Access, with Pro Football Hall of Fame sportswriter John McClain joining the program from the Hyundai Texans Radio Studio.

The General walks through a busy stretch of roster gyrations: the addition of T Max Pircher, the 6'7", 320-pound international tackle who joins the practice squad under the International Player Pathway exemption; T Braden Smith moving to injured reserve; and the trade that brought T Nate Thomas to Houston. McClain makes a bold call on C/G Keylan Rutledge — that the rookie belongs on the all-rookie team — and explains why Nick Caserio's public praise of Rutledge carries so much weight. He also digs into the tight end room, where TE Marlin Klein graded out as Pro Football Focus's top rookie tight end this preseason, and makes the case that Houston's personnel department deserves far more national credit than it gets.

McClain and Marc then look at the opening four-game stretch, go around the league, and take on two of the week's biggest media stories: the Titans' decision to pull a credential in Nashville, and Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley's revelation about how fan-shot training camp video traveled between opponents.

In segment two, Marc and John Harris play "Let's Make a Football Deal" — a run of hypotheticals covering guaranteed win totals, divisional records, who Johnny would keep healthy for 17 games, and what a 1,100-yard season from RB David Montgomery would unlock for the passing game.

The show closes with Nick Caserio on how he and DeMeco Ryans have built this roster, why depth on and off the 53 is one conversation and not two, and where the focus sits heading into the opener.
