NFL Week 7 Betting Picks
Welcome to NFL Week 7 betting picks! The Houston Texans will be trying to take sole possession of the AFC South lead. This is when they play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon. The game will be played at TIAA Bank Field. Also, it is scheduled to begin at 1 PM. ET. Texans Vs Jaguars NFL week 7 betting picks below.
The Texans have won three consecutive games. Houston will try to make it four in a row when they face the Jaguars. The Jags have won the last two meetings between the two teams.
Deshaun Watson has played well for the Texans. Also, is one of the biggest reasons they have won three games, but he has also taken a lot of hits behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league, and he has also turned the ball over 14 times.
The Texans will need their line to give Watson some extra time to get rid of the ball, but they will also need their quarterback to take better care of the ball, especially against an opportunistic defense like Jacksonville’s.
Houston’s running game hasn’t been as good as expected, but help is on the way with D’Onta Foreman coming off the PUP list this week after suffering a season-ending Achilles injury last season. Even though it will take Foreman some time to work himself back into shape, having extra depth at the position is great for the Texans.
Texans Vs Jaguars Wagering Odds
If their defense can keep Blake Bortles in check on Sunday, they should be able to get the win.
The Jaguars have lost two consecutive games and their defense, which was supposed to be one of the best in the league this year, gave up 70 points in their two losses. They will try to get back on track against the Texans, but they will need to play better on both sides of the ball to get the win.
Jacksonville’s offense has struggled over their last two games. They ended up scoring 21 points. With Leonard Fournette still dealing with an injury, T.J. Yeldon and the rest of their running back corps have to play better than they have in his absence.
Blake Bortles, who looked good early in the season, also has to play better than he has in the last two weeks and do a better job protecting the ball after throwing five interceptions in their last two games.
If the offense can get more than 21 points in this game, their defense should be able to slow down Houston’s offense and get some turnovers to help them get the win.
The Jaguars are favored to win this game by 4.5 points. The over/under on total points scored is 42.5.
Also, the Jaguars will play better than they have in the past two weeks because they will be playing in front of their home crowd, but if Fournette doesn’t play, they will have a hard time moving the ball against the Texans. Take Houston +4.5.
In conclusion, in Texans vs Jaguars we like Houston.
