Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3) face the Houston Texans (2-1) Sunday. Kickoff from NRG Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Jaguars vs. Texans odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
Week 3 showed us that the AFC South is, again, a weak division with the Jaguars and Texans really stumbling.
The Texans traveled to Minnesota to take on the Vikings, and they got pummeled. Texans QB C.J. Stroud threw 2 interceptions and RB Cam Akers led the team in rushing yards with 21. The Vikings, on the other hand, enjoyed 4.2 yards per rush and won 34-7. While the Texans are 2-1, their earlier opponents, Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears don’t appear to be as strong as many expected in the offseason.
The Jaguars were on the road in Week 3, too, and their season seems to be teetering already. At halftime, they trailed 34-3 as their defense gave up 5 straight touchdown drives. Jacksonville struggled on 3rd down succeeding on just 2 of their 13 attempts. QB Trevor Lawrence also took 5 sacks while their defense failed to get to Bills QB Josh Allen. In the end Buffalo won 47-10.
