Expert Betting Tips
The Jacksonville Jaguars have been on a hot streak, winning 6 of their last 7 games, but the Houston Texans have also found success with a three-game winning streak. C.J. Stroud is showing promise as a quarterback, and the Texans have improved over the past month. Stroud's performance and the Texans' recent success give them an edge. It's worth noting that the Texans won the previous meeting between the two teams in September when they weren't performing at their best. Additionally, the Texans have a favorable recent record against the Jaguars, winning 9 of the last 10 meetings. In a slight underdog role at home, I'm leaning towards the Texans.
