Jacksonville Jaguars - NFL Betting Analysis
Last week, the Jaguars picked up a conference win after taking down the New York Jets by a score of 19-3. With the victory, Jacksonville was able to cover the spread, as they were 2.5-point underdogs. The over-under betting total going into the game was 36, which the teams did not surpass. Despite being the 2.5-point underdogs heading into the game, the Jaguars held a 13-point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Through 15 games, the Jaguars have an ATS record of 7-8. So far, they have an over-under record of 8-7. This week's betting total of 43.5 is right in line with their previous games.
As the Jaguars prepare to take on Houston, they have played well on offense, ranking 11th in points per game at 23.5. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Texans defense ranked 26th in points per game. This season, Jacksonville has been one of the better passing teams in the league, averaging 239.2 yards per game through the air. Although the Texans' defense has been able to limit opposing teams in the passing game, Jacksonville should still be able to continue to generate big plays through the pass. On the ground, the Jaguars should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better rushing teams in the league and are facing a defense that has its problem stopping the run.
Houston Texans - NFL Betting Analysis
Houston will be looking to add another win to their resume, as they picked up a division win over the Tennessee Titans. The Texans won by a margin of 19-14. Going into last week's matchup, Houston was 3.0 point underdogs on the spread. The over-under betting total going into the game was 34, which the teams did not surpass. Houston went into the 4th quarter of the game trailing by 4 at 14-10, but still came back to win and cover the spread as underdogs. Through 15 games, the Texans have an ATS record of 7-7-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 6-9. This week's betting total of 43.5 is right in line with their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Texans' offense is averaging 16.9 points per game, placing them 30th in the NFL. For the season, the Jaguars are 15th in points allowed. Although the Texans come into the game ranked just 26th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Jacksonville secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Houston to have an above-average performance in the passing attack. On the ground, our projections show that the Texans' offense will continue to struggle, as they are averaging just 88.8 points per game.
