Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans Prediction
Jacksonville has the better run game with Etienne and the strong results on the road. Houston’s pass rush and takeaway numbers keep the game close, but if Stroud does not play, Jacksonville will use its defense to limit the running game for Houston and pressure the backup QB. Final Score Prediction: Jacksonville Jaguars win and cover ATS 20-13.
