This is not as much backing the Houston Texans as much as fading the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jacksonville is coming off its bye week, but note that it will give rookie quarterback Jake Luton, a sixth-round pick out of Oregon State, his first big league action this Sunday. He'll face a Texans team that held the Jags to just a pair of touchdowns in a 30-14 Houston victory on October 11.

The Texans have played a tough schedule and I think they're better than their 1-6 record would suggest, but the same thing can not be said about the 1-6 Jaguars.

Texans are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a double-digit loss at home. Texans are 5-2-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a road favorite.

8* play on Houston Texans.
