I'm hoping you are aware that the schedules are no longer 'created', but rather determined by a set formula, right? 14 out of 16 games every year are pre-determined for centuries on end, assuming no teams or divisions change. They're just lucky that they 1) play in an ass division, 2) are slotted to play the NFC West and AFC South, who offer nothing outside of SF and Houston, and 3) benefit from the AFC West having been won by a .500 team.
Of course, if you were aware of this, consider this a general education post for those who are not aware. When the Texans entered the league and it switched to four division conferences, the league redesigned its schedule format. Now, in addition to the 6 division games every team plays every year, the rest of the schedule is filled out by playing 1) one division from the opposite conference, which rotates every year, 2) one division from the same conference that is not its own, which rotates every year, and 3) the teams in the other two inter-conference divisions that finished in the same place within their division as the team in question. So in the case of New England, they are slotted to play their division, the aforementioned NFC West and AFC South, and the Broncos and Ravens because they won their divisions.
