What to Know
On Sunday Jacksonville will take on Houston at 1:00 p.m. Jacksonville are the favorites in this one — although they were the favorites in their last matchup, too, so the odds might count for a little less.
Jacksonville found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 7-40 punch to the gut against Dallas last Sunday. Jacksonville got a solid performance out of Blake Bortles, who passed for 149 yards and 1 touchdown; unfortunately, it just wasn’t enough for the win.
Meanwhile, Houston had a bit more than a touchdown to spare in a 20-13 victory over Buffalo.
Jacksonville took the contest and then some with a 45-7 win over Houston the last time the two teams met. Will Jacksonville repeat their success, or does Houston have a better game plan this time around ? We’ll find out soon enough.
