6. What’s your prediction for the game?

"I think the Jags are headed in the right direction, as evidenced by all the players I mentioned that I like. Still, I have a feeling Houston will be extra motivated after losing to a 40-year old quarterback who was said to be on his “death bed” earlier that week. I think the Texans are out to prove they have some good football in them. A loss here by Houston would probably send them in a free fall. I think they squeak out a narrow victory, 27-24."

My take:

I think the score is pretty close to what we’ll see on Sunday, but I’m not sure if I agree on the outcome. I’ll reveal my prediction on Friday, but I think the Jaguars are under a ton of pressure to win at home before they leave for over a month. If not, head coach Gus Bradley is going to have a rough couple of weeks in London and through the bye.
