Why exactly are Houston favoured?

I'm not sure either.....and if they were ( based on playing better than 0-10, and played well against Patriots last week) 1.8 to 1.9 would be more like it, not 1.62!

no idea. makes no sense at all. itd take a brave man to bet on the jaguars to beat anybody, but itd take a crazy one to bet on houston at them prices.

I hate the expression 'trap game' to me that concept is just paranoid yank nonsense. But it seems a tad to good to be true to me, I cap this as a pick 'em to -3 Jags spread. I;m not going to second guess myself without really good reason though, so a small bet on Jax, or lay of Houston. I can definitely see this being back and forth too.

ive had one of my safe boring bets.
over 33.5 points at 1.25
think there should be plenty of points on offer.

i also would make the jags slight favourites. but i wouldnt back he jags against anybody, just cos theyre the jags basically

have u lot been drinking?

lol

the jags have won 3 of their last 4. including away at houston.
houston have lost 10 in a row.

also ive traded out of my over 33.5 points bet. changed my mind. had second thoughts, its not quite as safe as id like. it relies on houston scoring points so the jags respond. bit dodgy. so not doing it.

Clay when can we expect the benefit of your wisdom this evening?

Clay what was that you were saying about '**** Seahawks secondary'?

jax will find it tough to score tonight, Given the HOU pass D & the JAX poor run O, the logic has to be to back HOU -3 tonight. Can't see a reason why this isn't a good bet? The texans last two road games versus ARX & KC saw them lose by 3 and 1 points. They've also kept it close in losses to NE, OAK, IND

It's a head scratcher DD. We improved v the pats, but cannot see this being more than a coin flip at best for Texans. Good value on Jags - don't say that too often

It is a head scratcher for sure. I can see the Texans running away with this game or the Texans yet again falling short in a tight game. Not sure which one is going to happen though. Going to have a long think about this before putting any money on it, if I bother putting any on at all.

No one could have forecast how bad a season the Texans have had but the Jags have probably achieved what everybody expected from them. Houston went toe to toe with the Pats last week and nearly beat them. Could the Jags have done the same? Personally, I doubt it very much. Houston are favourites because they outrank the Jags on both sides of the ball and have played better teams. All about opinions and there are some good judges on here and the arguement put forth that the Jags beat them away is a fair one, but imo, Houston are a far superior team and I can`t see anything but a Texan win. I`m all in straight up and -3 on the handicap. Enjoy the game and may the best team win.

So the Mighty Mac has spoken.  Nice and simple comparison of some meaningful stats.  People try to complicate things way too much.  I'm on Texas too.  ML, and I'm not trading out at my usual 15%.  One more stat.  Jags stink at home.

themightymac also won the Thanksgiving Day tipping competition. 5 out of 6 and all bet accordingly.

Good luck with your bets, I sincerely hope you win.

*joint won with Wallflower who also went 5-6.

New to this American Football lark but been picking it up over the last few weeks and to a regular small profit. So... Comfortable win for the Texans for me. GLA

Jags on fire early doors.  Too easy all this yardage their getting

If you are new to American football you have to learn the 1 golden rule. Lay the first team to hit 1.1

Great start by the Jags... Yes I ended up changing my initial thought and going for the texans tonight

TD jags

Almost a flip flop on ML already

the new Q is............why are the jags still even money?

Texans defense looks very poor

Nice start!



Took Jax + 4.5.

Flip Flop has happened already

May as well lose and get the best pick for next year.

It goes from bad to worse for the Texans

can still get 4-5 the jags..............

Can Case Keenum get any worse than he's currently playing?

Pick 6 Schaub in the wings though

Nice!

....... have to say regardless how this goes, or how their season ends, respect to Jaguars for playing tough. Pleasure to watch their vibrancy

Yep, Houston are a complete mess right now.

...also good to see Jeff Reinebold in the studio, really rate him, good insights and knows his stuff....hope he's there down the stretch. I like Big Cecil (Eagles).....very likeable, but he is a bit of a spoofer

Cecil is a total spoofer Wallflower, but as you say he is very likeable

Too many yellow flags

Houston got more fouls than points on the board first half... Says it all, off to bed in disgust!!! GLA

I love J. D. Swearinger!

I think we got this Jag Backers!

probably but 1,11 already

welcome mr schaub

nice, greening out at 1,44

easy

1.7 now

nice play

flip flop soon ;)

and there it is

thank you

schaubs been great but should have run on 2nd down

wow someone took my 1,06

1.05     £335         £3,659
1.06             £1,886
1.10     £3,061         £739
1.11             £1,049
1.12             £1,051
1.13             £6,365
1.14             £4,076

well exating game, great trading nice green

Well done boys - 11 in a row on the bright side going to get a nice draft pick lol

Well done Jags backers. Mind and send Swearinger a nice Xmas pressie off your winnings.

Kubiak should be sacked straight-away.  To start Keenum is a joke.  The lad will never be an NFL standard QB.  The Texans are on an awful run and to start favs last nite was a bit of a mystery.  If Schaub had have satrted it could have been a different result.

Well they have sacked him....but Case is starting the rest of the season.
