Betting on the Jacksonville Jaguars

The 19-3 win over the Jets put the Jaguars in a very good position to win the AFC South and now depend on themselves to secure the playoffs. They have certainly bounced back: they had five consecutive defeats and now they have only one in their last five games.

Trevor Lawrence has played a key role. Nearly 65.5% of his throws have been successful, and already has racked up 24 touchdowns and only 7 interceptions. On the ground, they are also a threat with Travis Etienne Jr, who already scored 1000 yards and has also scored 4 touchdowns.

In order to win the AFC South, Jacksonville must defeat Houston, which has been eliminated. In these dramatic closing weeks on the football field, the Jaguars-Texans game is crucial.

Betting on the Houston Texans

Bad news only for the Detroit Pistons. At the conclusion of this dreadful season, in which they have only won two games—one of which came last week against the Titans and ended a 9-game losing streak—JJ Watt made the announcement that he is leaving the team.

The Pistons allow a lot of passing yards, about 225.7 per game, and considering the Jaguars throw for over 250.3 per game, they are in serious trouble. But it’s just that everywhere else, the Texans are a weak team.

Houston is already looking ahead to the draft and the following season, where they’ll have to strengthen the defense, which is one of the weakest parts of the team.

The Jaguars are going to take the game and probably the division. Although the Texans won recently, we don’t see how they can contain a Trevor Lawrence who is motivated to lead Jacksonville to the postseason.

Either way, they have to face Tennessee to fully decide their future, provided the Titans don’t fall to Dallas.

Prediction: Jaguars 20-3 Texans
