Houston Texans vs Jacksonville Jaguars NFL Picks: The Texans (0-2) QB Matt Schaub threw 3 INT's in the loss last week to Tennessee, 31-12. The Texans (0-2) wanted to provide an emotional boost to their hometown, where most people remain without power more than a week after Hurricane Ike hit. The Texans were in a terrible spot last week. Not only were they playing in just their second game of the season, but they also had to deal with much more important things than football. The hurricane forced the postponement of the Texans' home opener. The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at SBGglobal.com have the Jacksonville Jaguars -9 point favorites against the Houston Texans heading into this match up.
Houston has got beat up pretty badly to start the season, from Pittsburgh and Tennessee sandwiched around a forced bye week that saw a hurricane flatten their city.
The Texans have gone just 3-9 ATS in the L12 games of this head-to-head series. Houston’s running game was very impressive in the loss at Tennessee. Steve Slaton had 18 carries for 118 yards. The rookie Slaton became the first running back to top 100 yards against the Titans this season and scored his first pro TD on a 6-yard run.
The Jaguars (1-2) needed a win last week and they got a huge one on the road beating the Colts on a last second field goal, 23-21. QB David Garrard impressively evaded the Colts' pass rush to buy more time and find receivers during the final 67 seconds. The powerful running tandem of Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor, who each topped 100 yards despite being nicked up with minor injuries, got the offense out of neutral for the first time this season. They were bailed out on a fourth down penalty on the Colts, which kept their final drive alive on way to the game winning field goal. We can’t overlook the fact that the Jags are still missing two starters on their offensive line.
