Houston, TX (The Spread) – The Jacksonville Jaguars’ playoff hopes rest on a couple of backups when they take on the Houston Texans at 4:15PM ET on Sunday. Continue reading for odds, picks and trends on this NFL Week 17 matchup.
According to current NFL odds and oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com, the Texans are 3-point favorites over the Jaguars in Week 17. The over/under total for this game is 46 points.
The Jaguars fell to 8-7 when they lost to the Redskins in overtime last Sunday. They’re 9-6 against the spread this season according to latest NFL trends, which includes a 4-3 ATS record at home.
The Texans are 5-10 overall and have failed to cover in 10 of their 15 overall games. They’re 3-4 at home this season and have failed to cover in five of their seven games at Reliant Stadium.
NFL Week 17 Free Pick:
Both David Garrard and Maurice Jones-Drew won’t play for the Jaguars on Sunday, which will make it awfully difficult to move the ball offensively. Without Jones-Drew last week, the Jags’ offense was a disaster against Washington. Now that Trent Edwards will start under center, they might be even worse. Houston will be without receiver Andre Johnson but the Texans should be motivated to finish a bad year on a high note. If they care about their head coach’s future in Houston, they’ll play hard for Gary Kubiak. Texans’ defense has been brutal this season but again, with Edwards starting Jacksonville could have a hard time moving the ball. The Jags are just 2-6 against the spread in their last eight trips to Houston, while the home team is 5-2 against the number in the last seven games between these two teams. Our pick is the Texans –3.
