Houston Texans vs Jacksonville Jaguars Prediction

The Jacksonville Jaguars will beat the Houston Texans. The Jacksonville Jaguars will cover the spread, and the total will go under.

Analyzing team performance stats reveals a clear advantage for Jacksonville across multiple offensive categories. The Jaguars are scoring an impressive 26.5 points per game, offering a stark contrast to the Texans’ paltry average of just 9 points per game. This significant discrepancy indicates that Jacksonville is not only capable of moving the ball effectively but also consistently finishing drives with points. In addition, their passing game averages 224.5 yards per contest while achieving a completion rate of 59.2 percent. This efficiency in the air complements their formidable ground attack, with 169.5 rushing yards on approximately 29.5 attempts, showcasing their versatility and unpredictability in offensive strategy.

On the other hand, Houston struggles to replicate that same level of production. While they boast a respectable completion percentage at 70.4, their total passing yards per game rest at 188, falling noticeably short. Furthermore, their rushing effort yields just 114 yards, combined with their inability to sustain drives leads to their underwhelming scoring average. Given these statistics, it is reasonable to expect Jacksonville to control the game tempo and limit scoring opportunities for Houston. Accordingly, the likelihood of the game total staying under seems high, as Houston’s offensive struggles will contribute to a reduced scoring environment.
