Public Betting Odds

According to our NFL Public Betting Chart page, the Texans are drawing 59% of the betting tickets ahead of tonight’s game.

Houston Texans Fantasy Spin

Will Fuller (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Jaguars. Fuller won't make the team's trip across the pond to London Town. Fuller doesn't appear close to a resumption of practice. Kenny Stills is the Texans' clear-cut No. 2 receiver in Fuller's absence, running as WR2/3 in fantasy. At least for Week 8, DeAndre Carter ran ahead of Keke Coutee as the slot receiver. Neither middle man is on the Week 9 re-draft radar.

Jacksonville Jaguars Fantasy Spin

Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) is questionable for Week 9 against the Texans. Westbrook couldn't finish Week 8 after aggravating an existing shoulder injury, but has nonetheless been a limited participant at practice this week. His status for Sunday's game in London could go down to the wire. If he sits, it would be a huge boost to Chris Conley, who has broken out for 186 yards over his last two outings. Houston's secondary doesn't pose much of a threat, particularly in the absence of Bradley Roby (hamstring).

Houston

The Texans have covered just once in their last five divisional games and are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games coming off a win.

Jacksonville

The Jaguars have covered the spread in five of their last seven games overall and are a perfect 5-0 at the betting window in their last five conference games.

NFL Week 9 Prediction

The Texans have won 14 of their last 18 meetings with the Jaguars, which included a victory earlier in the year when Jacksonville failed to convert on a 2-point conversion in a 13-12 loss in Houston. The favorite has also done well in London, posting a 19-9 record against the spread all-time across the pond. Deshaun Watson got banged up last week in the Texans’ win over the Raiders when he got kicked in the face but he also threw a touchdown on that same play. In the end, Watson is the difference here for me. We’re simply not getting enough points with the Jaguars, who are just 2-5 against the number in their last seven games coming off a win.
