Jacksonville has had one of the most interesting seasons in the NFL this year. They have nothing to play for in this final game which is still a bit of a shock.

The Texans are currently being projected to win their division and grab the third seed in the AFC. I am not sure what the tiebreakers can do to that outcome and a win pretty much assures it. Thought I think they could even steal the number 2 spot.
Jacksonville Jaguars
I am not sure it counts as impressive but the Jags went on the road and beat a Miami team that actually had something to play for. Way too little too late but better than a zero effort.
In the win they followed the blueprint they were supposed to use all season – maximum defense and just enough offense to get the W. They only gave up 183 yards to the Dolphins. No they are not the Chiefs but still.

Their own offense continues to be pretty tragic as they did not even break 250. They played two quarterbacks but only one of their two touchdowns came on offense. The other was on an interception return.
This is the final game of the season and they are on the road. If they are not into this one from the beginning than I would not expect their effort to pickup throughout the game. Look at some first quarter and first half wagers too.
Houston Texans
Needless to say the Texans would have done themselves a huge favour if they had held their late lead against the Eagles last week. Instead the loss opens things up in the AFC.
Deshaun Watson had a nice and tidy performance against the Eagles with 339 yards and two touchdowns. He was also the team’s leading rusher with 49 yards and that is part of their problem, getting any sort of consistency from the running game.

The defense also let them down. They gave up 519 yards to total offense and most of that was through the air as they got torched by Nick Foles. The passing attack of the Jaguars is definitely nowhere near as good.
I hope I am right when when I say that the Texans have nothing to lose in this spot but still have something to gain with a win. They could look to knock them out early.

4* Free NFL Betting Prediction: Jacksonville +8.5
With the dead number this is essentially a 10 point spread. The Jags can do enough to stay within this number.

Houston is at home and they will not let this one get away. The differences between the two teams will be obviously like they have been all season.
