Texans at Jaguars: Staff Predictions Houston Chronicle

Houston Chronicle sports experts present their predictions for Sunday's Texas-Jaguars game in Jacksonville.

Jenny Dial Creech, columnist

Jaguars 27, Texans 20: Deshaun Watson's mobility is a problem for Jacksonville, but he is recovering from chest injuries that clearly hindered him last week. The Texans offensive line leaves a lot to be desired and it is unlikely that this has improved much since their win over Buffalo last week.

John McClain, Texan writer

Jaguars 24, Texans 20: The Jaguars will be motivated to go home and their defense will be too heavy for the Texan pass defensemen. Blake "Trash" Bortles triggers a win.

Dale Robertson, Editor

Texans 21, Jaguars 10: Blake Bortles returned to form with a littered receiver body and no Leonard Fournette to relieve the pressure. In addition, the Texans realize that they owe to themselves and the city this victory after the beatings of the two Jaguars of last season and the throbbing of H-Town by the brutal fall of the Astros.

Brian T. Smith, columnist

Jaguars 20, Texans 17: Jacksonville's defense is coming home and Blake Bortles is doing just enough. It's a winnable game for Texans. There is no reason that it does not stay close until the end.

Jérôme Salomon, columnist

Jaguars 20, Texans 17: This is not a good time for Texans to face the Jaguars, who have played badly in the last two weeks. It should be a thriller and Blake Bortles could very well give the Texans a victory, or more exactly, give them one. But Jacksonville, losing ground after losing to Dallas, should win at home.

Aaron Wilson, Texan writer

Jaguars 13, Texans 10: The Texans offensive line is not up to the task, as usual, and the Jaguars are sufficiently offensive while enjoying short courses and a funk out of two. The Texans do not have a game running to support Deshaun Watson.
