Jacksonville Jaguars - NFL Betting Analysis

Last week, the Jaguars picked up a conference win after taking down the New York Jets by a score of 19-3. With the victory, Jacksonville was able to cover the spread, as they were 2.5-point underdogs. The over-under betting total going into the game was 36, which the teams did not surpass. Despite being the 2.5-point underdogs heading into the game, the Jaguars held a 13-point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Through 15 games, the Jaguars have an ATS record of 7-8. So far, they have an over-under record of 8-7. This week's betting total of 43.5 is right in line with their previous games.

As the Jaguars prepare to take on Houston, they have played well on offense, ranking 11th in points per game at 23.5. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Texans defense ranked 26th in points per game. This season, Jacksonville has been one of the better passing teams in the league, averaging 239.2 yards per game through the air. Although the Texans' defense has been able to limit opposing teams in the passing game, Jacksonville should still be able to continue to generate big plays through the pass. On the ground, the Jaguars should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better rushing teams in the league and are facing a defense that has its problem stopping the run.

 

Houston Texans - NFL Betting Analysis

Houston will be looking to add another win to their resume, as they picked up a division win over the Tennessee Titans. The Texans won by a margin of 19-14. Going into last week's matchup, Houston was 3.0 point underdogs on the spread. The over-under betting total going into the game was 34, which the teams did not surpass. Houston went into the 4th quarter of the game trailing by 4 at 14-10, but still came back to win and cover the spread as underdogs. Through 15 games, the Texans have an ATS record of 7-7-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 6-9. This week's betting total of 43.5 is right in line with their previous games.

Heading into this week's matchup, the Texans' offense is averaging 16.9 points per game, placing them 30th in the NFL. For the season, the Jaguars are 15th in points allowed. Although the Texans come into the game ranked just 26th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Jacksonville secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Houston to have an above-average performance in the passing attack. On the ground, our projections show that the Texans' offense will continue to struggle, as they are averaging just 88.8 points per game.

 

Today's NFL Betting Pick - Jaguars vs. Texans

In the 3 most recent matchups between Jacksonville and Houston, the Texans have dominated the series, winning 3 straight games. The two teams have combined to average 41.0 points per game in their last 3 meetings. In game 1 of this year's series between the two teams, the Texans came away with a 13-6 win over the Jaguars. Not only did the Texans come away with a straight-up win, but they also covered the spread as +4.0 point underdogs. Last season, the Jaguars and Texans met up for 2 games, with Houston winning both matchups by scores of 30-16 and 37-21.

The Houston Texans have gone 3-0 vs the spread in these games. The Jaguars' offense has averaged 14.3 points per game over the 3 most recent meetings with Houston, compared to the Texans at 26.67.

Spanning across their last 3 games, Jacksonville has gone 3-0. This also includes going 3-0 ATS and an over-under mark of 2-1

Jacksonville has played well in their previous 3 road games, going 2-1 straight up. In this stretch, they averaged 23.0 points per game while allowing 21.67. The team also performed well vs the spread at 2-1.

Through their 3 most recent regular season matchups, the Texans have gone 1-2. In addition, the team has not done well vs the spread, going 3-0. Their over-under record in these games was 2-1.

Across the Texans' last 3 home games, the team averaged 16.0 points per game while allowing 26.67. Their record vs the spread in these contests was 1-2, while going 0-3 straight-up.

Recommended ATS Betting Pick: Jaguars -4.0
