Texans vs. Jaguars Free Pick
JACKSONVILLE, FL (The Spread) – AFC South rivals clash in Jacksonville today when the Jaguars host the Texans at 1:00PM ET. Which team will cover?
ODDS: Oddsmakers have installed the Jaguars as 7-point home underdogs against the Texans, while the over/under total is currently sitting at 40.5 points. Houston is 1-0 on the year after beating Miami last week, while Jacksonville is 0-1 after losing to Minnesota in overtime.
LINE MOVEMENT: The Texans opened as 7.5-point favorites but the spread has dropped slightly to 7.
PUBLIC BETTING: Of the wagers currently placed on today’s game, 85% of NFL bettors favor Texans. This information is subject to change, however, so make sure to click on the link provided to get the most updated betting numbers.
NFL FREE PICK: Take Houston. Blaine Gabbert built some confidence in last week’s overtime loss to the Vikings but he’ll likely struggle today against Houston’s stellar defense. Jacksonville will have a hard time keeping Gabbert upright and the second-year quarterback might turn the ball over multiple times. The Texans are clearly the superior team and should built a lead and eventually add to it throughout the day. According to latest NFL trends the favorite is 3-0-1 against the spread in the last four meetings between these two teams and the Texans are 13-6-1 against the number in their last 20 games versus the Jaguars.
