Two AFC South teams who came into the season with really high hopes come into this matchup off really bad weeks. Jacksonville went into Buffalo and got embarrassed on Monday Night Football. On the other hand, Houston headed North to Minnesota and fell to the surprise Vikings. Below, we will take a look at the Jaguars-Texans Preview ahead of this NFL Week four. Before you read, ask yourself what your own Jaguars Texans predictions.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans Preview and Predictions
What a tough week it was for Jaguars fans… You pay your quarterback all that money in the offseason, name the stadium after him in week two, only to look at your record and see 0-3. It is now or never for The Jags. This is a team that came in with a ton of talent and motivation to make the playoffs. Looking at their roster, they have plenty of names and pieces to be a successful NFL team. Although last week was bad, we cannot forget they are just a few plays from beating both Miami and Cleveland.

CJ Stroud had one of his worst games as the quarterback of the Texans. It was not just him though; both sides of the ball were outplayed by this Minnesota team. Since he has come into the league, he has truly been one of the best quarterbacks in the AFC, but he is also not scared to throw up a bad game. I love the way this Houston team is led and I am positive they will rebound in a big way. Look for Houston to come out with a vengeance being at home in this divisional matchup. Here are the Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans Preview and Predictions.
Jaguars +6.5
I do not think Jacksonville is going to win this game, but I do see it coming down to the final drive. Jacksonville has won their last two games in Houston and these two generally play very close games. I would surely give the total edges to Houston on both sides of the ball, but the margins are extremely small. Like I mentioned above, the Jags need a win more than most teams in the league, and I would expect them to match Houston’s energy and keep this game close.
Jaguars Team Total Over 20.5 +120
Do not be shocked to see fireworks in this game. Both of these teams have the talent and firepower to put up points. The fact we are getting plus money on Jacksonville to score just three touchdowns seems wrong to me. After going through the Jaguars Texans Predictions, I believe Jacksonville will put some points on the board and keep this within the number.
