The Texans come in off a 20-13 win against the Detroit Lions in Houston, last Sunday. The Texans were able to curtail a very potent and lively Detroit offense by virtue of their traditionally sound defensive exploits.

The Jaguars continue to struggle despite yielding some exceptional talent in their ranks. The Jaguars own just one win on American soil this year, as the other came against the Colts in their home away from home in London when they defeated the Indianapolis Colts. The Jags have lost their last three and are currently in off a 19-14 loss against Kansas City, last week.

Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars Prediction
No matter where we turn here there is juice required at any wager. The mere fact the most juice comes on Houston outright or Jacksonville with a point and a half, suggests that the market is extremely sharp in this market and that the books are taking a stance on this game. We want no part of juice but even if Jacksonville were to lose this game, there is more equity in reducing our overhead by 12% taking the Jags outright than playing it safe and taking back a point and a half. Bottom line, Houston has lost three games on the road this year and that is where all their troubles have piled up this season. Jacksonville is hungry for a win and they know they can beat good teams as they took down Indianapolis earlier this year in London. The Jags have also defeated Chicago on the road to name their other win on the year, so this team has a great chance to be a live pooch when none suspect them.

Take Jacksonville -103
