The Houston Texans are at a low-point right, morally speaking.
They are at 5-6 and just one game out of the playoffs but just three games ago, they were 5-3 with a great chance to make the playoffs.
The Texans blew two consecutive games by missing game-tying kicks late in fourth quarters. Then they blew a 17-point lead to the Indianapolis Colts last week and completely folded in the second half.
Even so, this is a team that plays better when there is no pressure and that is exactly the situation this week.
The Texans head out on the road to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in a very manageable contest for them.
Jacksonville is a team that can beat the bad teams in the league and can take advantage of mistakes, but they don’t overwhelm any of their opponents. This week, they’ll be without cornerback Rashean Mathis, who is their best cover man, and when you consider that the Jaguars have just 10 sacks in the NFL this year, which is the fewest, they’ll have a tough time pressuring Matt Schaub.
Look for the Texans to get a big bounce back win and top the Jaguars.
Pick: Houston +1
