Official Texans @ Jaguars Game Thread, 10/21/2018

[Arky]

Some of the people I respect in handicapping don't give the Texans much chance today including Sean Pendergast:

JAGUARS -5.5 over Texans
I hate to have to do this, but I feel strongly about the Texans not only losing this weekend to Jacksonville, but losing fairly handily. On paper, the Texans are on about as bad a run ATS as any NFL team, 1-9 in their last 10 games. Meanwhile, Jacksonville has coughed up a two game lead in the division with ugly losses to Kansas City and Dallas, the latter by 33 points last Sunday. In the end, it boils down to this...

On the other hand, there's been a significant change in the point spread meaning some big money is coming in on the Texans - Once 5 to 5½, Jax is now favored by 3½ to 4. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.....
