Jacksonville at Houston

Jacksonville starting QB Mark Brunell is hurting. If he can’t go, it will be the rookie Byron Leftwich. It’ hard enough for a rookie, but Leftwich started camp late. If he has to play, it could be a long day for the Jag offense. WR Jimmy Smith is still out (will be back next week). Without him, Jacksonville’s starting receivers have combined for just 10 catches in three games. This Houston team is not bad. Don’t forget they beat Miami in week one. They went on to lose their next two but one was against the best team in the league (KC). Now they’re getting points at home against a team that seems to find ways to lose games. Houston’s defense has been working overtime in practice this week after giving up 42 points last week. Teams that give up 40+ points do well against the spread the following game.
