Draft Kings: Take Jaguars to cover vs. Texans
It writes: "Sure, the Texans beat the Malik Willis-led Titans, but that shouldn’t take away from how good the Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence have looked. If Jacksonville’s offense can avoid a slow start and their defense can slow down Derrick Henry, they can avoid a repeat of the loss they suffered to Houston in Week 5."

OddsChecker: Go with the Texans with the points vs. Jaguars
It writes: "The Jaguars are 4.5 point road favorites here. Normally, I’d say that’s too small, but given the history here it makes sense. Rivalry games are always a different breed and given that this game doesn’t matter to the Jaguars’ playoff hopes they could let their guard down here and fall into the trap game. It’s when things are going especially well when teams are most susceptible to be spoiled. So, I’m going to take a chance on Houston this week."
Sporting News: Jaguars 25, Texans 19
Bill Bender writes: "The Jaguars have become bettors' friends by winning four of their last five games, but they lost 13-6 to the Texans in the first meeting in Week 5. Jacksonville also is 0-3 S/U as a favorite in 2022. Does that make this game a dangerous trap spot? Not with the way Trevor Lawrence is playing. He has 11 TDs and just one INT in those last five games."
