There's nothing at stake but pride in this divisional matchup — and a high draft pick. The Texans have lost 10 straight games and would be drafting in the No. 1 overall spot if the season ended today. Their latest loss came to the New England Patriots, when they blew a 10-point halftime lead to lose, 34-31. Houston did manage to cover the spread as seven-point underdogs. They fell to 2-10 on the year and are 3-9 against the spread.

The Jaguars have found some life after starting the year 0-8. They beat the Cleveland Browns, 33-28, to get their second win in a row, and covered the +7.5 point spread. The Jaguars improved to 3-9 in the standings and 4-8 against the spread. Jacksonville are still underdogs this week, but this is their smallest point spread of the season.
