The Jets are entering this game with a 4-8 record overall and they have a 1-3 record in their divisional games too. They are 2-5 in their home games, 2-3 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

Tony Adams led the defense in that game with 5 solo tackles and 4 assisted tackles while Jermaine Johnson and Quinton Jefferson each led the defense in sacks with 1.5. No one on the defense came away with an interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have the Texans listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Texans have looked really good this season with their 7-5 record overall and they have been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL this year with their rookie QB CJ Stroud and their 1st year head coach DeMeco Ryans. They haven't looked as good in their road games this season but their offense has been clicking lately and they won't need many points to win this game and cover. The Jets have looked terrible in their games this season with their 4-8 record overall and they have looked even worse lately. They have one of the worst offenses in the NFL and just like every game they have been playing in lately, their defense will only be able to hold on so long against this good Texans offense. The Jets are at the point where they don't even know who to start at QB anymore and their offensive problems are going to continue until they make some real changes or at least until Rodgers comes back. The Jets offense won't be able to put up enough points to keep this a competitive game with the way the Texans have been playing lately, and the Texans are also more motivated since they are right in the hunt for both the division and a Wild Card spot. The best way to place a bet here is on the Texans to cover the spread in this game.
