The upcoming Jaguars (#2) game, 11/27/2011
Round 2 of Texans vs. Jags will be an early CBS game this Sunday in Jacksonville. Injuries have hampered the 7-3 Texans this year but they will get one back (WR A Johnson), possibly two (S Danieal Manning) and break in a new one (QB Matt Leinart). All eyes will be on Leinart as regular starting QB Matt Schaub is probably lost for the year due to a foot injury. Leinart has had one start and one TD pass since 2007 so rustiness will be a concern.... The Texans are coming off their bye and have won 4 in a row - the longest current win streak in the AFC.
The 3-7 Jaguars look to get on track after losing to Cleveland 14-10 last Sunday. Rookie QB Blaine Gabbert looks to improve on what was probably his worst performance of the year (10/30, 97 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, 26.7 rating) in the first meeting with the Texans. RB Maurice Jones-Drew, TE Mercedes Lewis and WR's Jason Hill and Mike Williams are some of Gabbert's favorite targets. Jones-Drew is currently 2nd in rushing in the NFL with 941 yards and could go over 1,000 during the game. TV = CBS (channel 11 local), 12 noon CST Announcers = Kevin Harlan, Solomon Wilcots Favorite = Texans by 3 to 3.5 Last edited by Arky; 11-22-2011 at 05:09 PM.

I will say:
Texans - 21 Jags - 9 Again, it will be important for the offense to get ahead early so the defense can tee-off on Gabby.

I'm hoping to see a controlled, confidence building 1st quarter, and then cut Leinart loose a bit in the 2nd to see how he does, and get some things on film. The Hags can't score unless its gift wrapped. If that happens once in the 2nd quarter, I'm confident we can survive it thru the 2nd half.
I'm thinking we put up 17-24 pts, regardless of if he can complete the deep ball or not, but we have to take some shots for future opponents.

The spread sure has got interesting. Now up to (mostly) Texans by 6 or 7..... I suppose that has to do with the word getting out that about half the Jags defensive starters won't be playing....
Walterfootball.com last reported 92% of the money going on the Texans...

Whew! Losing Leinhart, having to put the rookie T.J. Yates in made for a pretty hairy game, but the defense pulled it out for us 20-13.
