 Walter likes the Jags and has some pretty convincing trends to back it up (ATS = against the spread): Quote:

Man, I just don't see the Hags scoring enough to cover that number, even if they hold us to 20. Outside of MJD breaking long TD run, they are likely to score mostly FG's, probably from 40+. While their D is solid, I watched most of the MNF game, and that was more of BAL being inept/off that night as it was the Hags D being good. Flacco was flat out terrible, and for whatever reason, Ray Rice had something like 12 touches....(glad to see we're not the only team where coaches "out-smart" themselves).
I could see a 20-6 game out of this one. Yep, the Kool-Aid is COLD.

On MNF, the Jags Oline and Dline were dominating LOS vs. BAL. I'm hoping it was a combo of losing streak/ National spotlight/ Home game.
They do not have enough to stop our passing attack, especially during a scripted or no-huddle stretch. I'm thinking our LBs and Safeties will have to come up huge against their run game.

People are way overselling Jacksonville winning that game monday. Remember that Baltimore got rolled by Tennessee earlier in the yea. Baltimore is more jeckyl and hyde than we are.

I might be willing to conceed victory to the Jags in our rematch on their turf later this year, but if the Texans aren't up to winning this game against this division rival at home this weekend then that's a far bigger disappointment than the home-filed loss we took against he Raiders 2 weeks ago and they aren't worthy of being the AFC South Champs.

Don't confuse "picking the Jaguars" against the spread (+7) with "picking the Jaguars" to win the game. I don't think anybody here is doing the latter.
It should also be noted that J'ville beat us last year with that ridiculous deflected Hail Mary. I wonder how much, if any, that might get thrown in the players faces before this game.

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?

And if sacks relates, Texans have 19 , same as Baltimore, which is second highest in NFL to 14 sacks by Jags.
Otherwise defenses stack up pretty even and maybe Jacksonville has had an even tougher schedule than Texans to date. I was thinking something like 24-16 for Texans, but who knows. Just win.

Apparently, the very early lines had the Texans by 9-1/2 so it has already moved down if it is now 7. The two things that concern me are: 1) the Texans have never been that good at stopping MJD and 2) we'll be the fourth straight 3-4 defense the Jags will have faced so they'll know exactly what we are doing.
IMO, Sunday was the first time all year we've played two good halves. Just because it happened once, we shouldn't assume we won't go back to our "one good half" trend this week.
