Jaguars vs. Texans Player Prop
Calvin Ridley started strong with the Jaguars, racking up 101 receiving yards in his first game. However, he faced a setback last week, managing only 32 yards. Yet, this week offers him a chance to shine once more.
The significant update this week is the Texans’ absence of cornerback Derek Stingley for the upcoming weeks. Stingley was anticipated to mark Ridley in their matchup.
After a lackluster performance against Kansas City, Jacksonville is in dire need of an offensive boost. Facing the 0-2 Texans, who are currently struggling, should provide them with that opportunity.

Jaguars vs. Texans Predictions
The betting market appears to be overly optimistic about the Jaguars and somewhat undervaluing the Texans.
While Houston’s defense raises concerns and their offensive line remains a work in progress, rookie QB C.J. Stroud and his team have shown the ability to move the ball. They might keep the game reasonably tight and have an opportunity to cover the spread, perhaps even through a late-game backdoor touchdown.
On the other hand, Jacksonville’s performance this season has been underwhelming. They had an unimpressive victory over Indianapolis and displayed a lackluster offense against Kansas City last week.
