Houston Texans vs Jacksonville Jaguars Prediction
The Texans have some showing and proving to do as they haven’t looked good up to this point, and a blowout win over the Titans doesn’t move the needle. You and I could beat the Titans. The Jaguars have had a lot of regular season success dating back to last season, and they look like they’re emerging as a legit AFC contender overall. The Jags also have the advantage of staying overseas from last week, which removes any chance of jet lag or sluggish play. You can argue the Jaguars should be steeper favorites. I’ll lay the points with Jacksonville.
