The Jacksonville Jaguars ended a losing skid when they trounced the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9. At 5-3, they have a prime opportunity to start a winning streak and gain ground in the AFC South. OF course, it won't be a walk in the park. Next on their schedule are the rival Houston Texans.
The Jags became a 1.5-point favorite for the division bout when Houston ruled out quarterback C.J. Stroud. There's no doubt that there will be a steep drop-off behind center with Davis Mills. However, Jacksonville will face a stout Texans defense that leads the NFL in both points allowed and points scored.
