The Houston Texans will bank on their elite pass rushing to pull off a +124 upset over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Sunday’s NFL London Games.

Current Form:

The Jacksonville Jaguars have won their last three games to improve their record to 4-1. The Jaguars own one of the most ruthless defenses in the NFL through the first five weeks, ranking second in points allowed per game (14.0) and first in allowed rushing yards (63.8).

The Houston Texans finally captured their first win of the season after trouncing the Tennessee Titans, 26-3. The Texans’ defense showed up, holding the Titans to 187 total yards and zero touchdowns. Houston might be 1-4 in the season, but they rank in the top 10 in passing yards (6th with 261.8 yards) and pass completion (8th with 23.8 completed passes).

The Matchup: The Texans are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings with the Jaguars. They split their regular-season series last season, but the Houston came out on top in their most recent faceoff, 36-29.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Houston Texans Picks

Jacksonville Jaguars - Houston Texans Key Points

  1. The Jaguars rank 30th in allowed passing yards per game (266.2)
  2. The Jaguars rank 18th in allowed total yards per game (330.0)
  3. The Texans rank first in total sacks (18)
  4. QB CJ Stroud has not committed an interception after five games this season

Our Jacksonville Jaguars vs Houston Texans Prediction

Key Stats: Spearheaded by fearsome pass rushers Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter, the Texans rank second in the NFL in total sacks (18).

CJ Stroud has committed 0 interceptions on 185 pass attempts this season, making him one of the deadliest signal-callers in the league.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars rank 30th in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (266.2).

What to Expect: The Texans will score back-to-back wins after edging the Jaguars. CJ Stroud will continue to put up stellar numbers, creating multiple chances to score with his on-point passing.

But the game-changer will be elite pass rushing from Houston. Relentless pocket attacks from Anderson and Hunter could force Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence to make hasty decisions, significantly decreasing his passing efficiency.

If the Texans play their cards right, they have a clear path to pulling off an upset against one of the hottest teams in the NFL.
