Jaguars vs Texans Prediction

The current betting odds have the Texans listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Texans are 6-4 overall this season and they have been a really big surprise this year. CJ Stroud has been having a great season in his rookie year and they have been really good in their home games too, going 4-1 at home this year. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have also looked really good this year with their 7-3 record overall as they lead the division right now. They have also been really good in their road games too as they have a 3-0 road record and 2-0 record at neutral sites. They have been rolling in their games lately but they did lose at home to the Texans earlier this season and they haven't played well against the Texans over the last few years now too. The Texans will also be motivated to win this home game since a win will put them at 7-4 with the Jaguars and they will be right in the race for the AFC South. A loss would put them 2 games behind though so the Texans know they need this home win and they will be motivated against a team they have played so well against for years. The best way to place a bet here is on the Texans to cover the spread in this game. 

Jaguars Texans Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 25, 2023 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Texans 34 Jaguars 27.

Notable Quotes


“That's one of the cleaner games offensively we’ve played. Seemed like we stayed on schedule, seemed like we kept them on their heels. We did a great job of mixing up all the different shots, getting it out quick, running the ball movements, all that.” - Trevor Lawrence after their win against the Titans in their last game. 


“You’re going to have miscues, you’re going to have bad plays, but it’s all about how you respond to those plays. So we will continue to highlight all the positive things that C.J. is doing. And then we’ll also coach him up on those negative plays.” - DeMeco Ryans after his team’s win against the Cardinals in their last game.
