Jacksonville at Houston

Jacksonville's offense has been a train wreck, ranking #27 in yards, #26 in passing, #30 in points (16.1 pg). It's hard to believe that they were in the AFC championship game last season. So they go back to QB Blake Bortles (13 TDs, 10 INTs), for his first start in a month. The Jaguars' offensive line has been a mess in the second half of the season because of injuries. Four of the team's five starters in the season opener are now on injured reserve, and two of the current starters are players that were not with the team until October. The defense is the strength of the team, fifth in the league in yards allowed and points (19.7 pg). The Jaguars are 15-7 UNDER the total against the AFC. They face a Houston defense that will make Bortles wish he wasn't starting, sixth in the league in points (20.9), fourth against the run with a terrific pass rush. Houston defeated the Jaguars 20-7 in Week 7. The UNDER is 12-5 when they face the AFC and this shapes up as a battle of punts and field goals. Play the UNDER.
