Exactly. I think the Texans will win but not by 10+, i.e. Jags to cover....
This should be a taking-care-of-business game for the Texans. We learn a little bit about this year's team each week and there are some things going on that are unprecedented. For example, they are +6 in
giveaways/takeaways which is good for 2nd in the AFC (Buffalo is +9). That's what winning teams do: have more takeaways than giveaways. I'm pretty sure they've never had that good of position in their history this late into the season. So, is there a game on the horizon where they cough the ball up left and right ("same old Texans") or are they going to keep improving that number?
