Texans vs. Jaguars Predictions For NFL Week 13, Sunday 12/1

The top dogs in the AFC South the past handful of seasons have either been the Texans or Jaguars, and interestingly enough, they’ve also both had their times at the bottom in the same time frame.

This year, it’s Houston looking to take control and the Jags being one of the biggest disappointments of the entire NFL. Jacksonville will have the luxury of having just had their bye week to help QB Trevor Lawrence get healthy. Along with the Texans having lost three of their last four games, this rivalry could be closer than the Texans vs. Jaguars odds would suggest.

That’s why we’re going to alter the lines a bit when it comes to the best bet from our Texans vs. Jaguars predictions!
 

 

 

Houston Texans: Eyes On The Prize

Along with having lost three of the last four games, Houston’s struggles date back a bit further, having lost four of their last six games after starting 5-1. However, they can be thankful this Thanksgiving Week that the AFC South is among the worst divisions in the NFL.

Houston still has a two-game lead in the division with the Indianapolis Colts their only real threat, who are also on the road this Sunday. While that is good news, the Texans face the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens in their next three games. So, they need to tunnel vision this game for a win and keep their eyes on the prize.
 

 

 

Jacksonville Jaguars: Time For Trevor

It’s difficult to find a positive storyline in Jacksonville this season, as we will almost certainly see change this offseason, if not sooner. Many analysts already expected that to happen after their London trip, but alas, their 2-8 record apparently isn’t enough for change just yet.

It stings far more that they gave Lawrence a $55 million per year contract extension this offseason. Not only has he played below expectations, but he’s missed their past two games with an AC sprain. That’s a significant injury for a QB especially, but he’s been throwing back at practice this week.
 

 

 

Texans vs. Jaguars Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

As noted, we’ll be altering the lines a bit for our Texans vs. Jaguars picks, but before diving in, here are the latest Texans vs. Jaguars odds at FanDuel Sportsbook:

 

 

Texans vs. Jaguars Teaser: Houston +2 & Over 37.5 Points (-120 at FanDuel Sportsbook)

Altering original lines means that we’ll be creating a same-game teaser as the best bet from our Texans vs. Jaguars predictions. So, we’ll need both of these Texans vs. Jaguars picks to hit, but he already supported the opening lines.

While we expect the Texans to bounce back on the road, we’d prefer the point spread to be under that key number of three rather than four, so this is a way of doing so. Now that we’ve even made them underdogs, we can save ourselves from a last-second field goal upset by the Jags.

After all, this game against Jacksonville earlier this season was decided by just four points. Similarly, that game ended with 44 total points scored, and that’s been a theme of AFC South games for the Texans this season right from the start.

Week 1 was a 29-27 game against the Indianapolis Colts, and last week’s 32-27 loss to the Tennessee Titans was even more high scoring. While Houston has not been in their best form, the return of WR Nico Collins has boosted their offense while a banged-up star LB Will Anderson Jr. has hindered their defense.

That’s a combination for likely another close, high-scoring game, which is why we’re creating a teaser as the top pick from our Texans vs. Jaguars predictions with Houston +2 and under 37.5 points (-120 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
