Jaguars at Texans 12/30/18 - NFL Picks & Predictions

AFC South Division rivals will clash on Sunday afternoon, when the Jacksonville Jaguars visit NRG Stadium to tackle the Houston Texans.

The Jaguars have lost ten games and were unable to replicate the formula that allowed them to reach the AFC Championship Game a season ago. On Sunday, Blake Bortles sparked Jacksonville to a 17-7 victory at Miami. The Jaguars defense limited the Dolphins to 183 yards on the afternoon.

For the season, Houston ranks 15th in total offense and is scoring 25.5 points per game. Jacksonville has taken a small step back on a defense that ranks fifth in yards allowed and gives up 19.7 points per contest.

Houston WR Demaryius Thomas tore his Achilles against the Eagles and is out for the season. The Texans took care of the Jaguars earlier in the season by a 20-7 final score. Both defenses should find success on again in a game that the Jaguars will cover. Final Score Prediction, Houston Texans win but fall short ATS 20-17.
