For the first time this season, both the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars have an AFC South rivalry by taking on one another. It’s a division that very much could be taken by any of the four teams, making this Week 3 matchup a pivotal one, so we’ve got our best Texans vs. Jaguars predictions for you.

Also, with fans in Houston and Jacksonville lacking legal online sports betting, we’ve got you covered with a guaranteed Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus (available in ALL states other than AL, CO, ID, LA, MI, MT, NV, and TN) to make the most of our Texans vs. Jaguars picks.

Texans vs. Jaguars Predictions for NFL Week 3, Sunday 9/21

When it comes to division rivalries, you’ll often hear fans and analysts alike saying to throw the records out the window. Well, the Texans and Jaguars were the epitome of exactly that. Despite Houston winning the AFC South for the second straight year, Jacksonville kept things close in 23-20 and 24-20 losses.

In fact, we can go back a bit further, as each of the last three meetings between these divisional foes has been decided by four points or fewer. So, while we’d certainly agree with the Texans vs. Jaguars odds favoring Houston, we’d prefer not to sweat out a pick on the point spread.

The same can be said for the over/under, as although each of those three aforementioned matchups stayed under the total, they did so by just 0.5, two, and three points. With how much these squads have been proving oddsmakers right, we’re going to be focusing our Texans vs. Jaguars predictions on the player prop markets.
 

 

 

Texans vs. Jaguars Best Bet: C.J. Stroud Over 220.5 Passing Yards (-119 at Novig)

Last weekend, the Jags' pass defense performed exactly how we expected to help us hit our overall best bet for the entire slate - terribly. We had Ja'Marr Chase to score and go off in general, and he did just that to the tune of 14 catches of 165 yards and a score.

Keep in mind that it was also with Joe Burrow getting injured. We had an expert come through with a Nico Collins anytime TD as well, so now, it’s time to show some love to C.J. Stroud with our best Texans vs. Jaguars predictions. Now that Jacksonville’s defense has proven to be right on pace with last year’s league-worst through the air, Stroud should be licking his chops.

After all, Houston is still looking for their first win of the season after losing on Monday Night Football 20-19 in the final seconds (thank you, Bucs, for hitting our +2.5 pick). In his four career games versus the Jags, Stroud has thrown for 242, 345, 304, and 280 passing yards.

Those two 300+ yard games were also in Jacksonville, and being on the road only creates better odds for our Texans vs. Jaguars picks in this regard. It’s also worth noting that in those two road games against the Jags for Stroud, Nico Collins has gone off for 151 and 104 yards, scoring in both games as well.

No matter how you slice it, it should be a big game through the air (consider over 1.5 passing TDs as well). Houston needs to fix their pass protection for sure, but with the great matchup, we’ve still got C.J. Stroud over 220.5 passing yards (-119 at Novig) as the best bet from our Texans vs. Jaguars predictions.
