This is a 10* BLOWOUT on the Houston Texans.

The Jags are 1-3 and the Texans are 0-4. Houston just finished firing coach and GM Bill O'Brien.

But DeShaun Watson and the home side have a big opportunity to finally bounce back here vs. a Jags' defense which is conceding 29.3 PPG. The Jags are also allowing the highest completion percentage against in the league (77%).

Also note that LB Myles Jack and corner D.J. Hayden are both questionable for the visiting side, which is a significant blow to this already poor defensive unit.

Yes Houston has looked poor this year, but it's still significant to point out its competition in KC, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Minnesota. The Vikings were just as desperate as it was last weekend. Watson has six TD's and three INT's.

Obviously not good. But the combination of Watson's dual-threat capability and David Johnson's run is going to prove to be too much for this undermanned Jags team to keep up with.

Gardner Minshew has been decent, but I think he's in the wrong place at the wrong time here.

Note that Watson is 4-1 lifetime vs. the Jags with six TDs and two INT's.

Houston has faced four straight stiff defensive units, but that's 100% not the case this weekend.

I'm laying the points and I'm expecting a monster rout!

Good luck, NP
