Texans vs Jaguars Prediction
I’m on the under here. I think Houston’s defense will show up once again against Trevor Lawrence, but I also think that Houston could have some issues at QB. Especially if Davis Mills has to get the start at QB with CJ Stroud dealing with a concussion. I think this is going to be a low-scoring division battle, so give me the under here.
