The Jacksonville Jaguars barely avoided disaster in Week 5, barely beating the Philadelphia Eagles 19-17 with kicker Cam Little's walk-off field goal. Sure, the Jags prevailed in the end, but they'll need to clean up mistakes and put a renewed emphasis on execution if they don't want to fall to the Houston Texans.
The Texans just won their first game of the season. On top of that, they just traded for wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., so they'll be incentivized to get back on track after losing four games in a row to start the season. Compounding the issue is that Jacksonville will be without left tackle Anton Harrison, who'll undergo knee surgery and miss a substantial amount of time.
With Harrison out of the mix, Walker Little is the next man up. Whether the former Stanford Cardinal lines up at right tackle or becomes Trevor Lawrence's blindside protector remains to be seen, but he'll need to step up regardless. And with this in mind, here are the early odds for this AFC South matchup in London.

Bold Brenton Strange prediction vs. the Texans in Week 6
There's no doubt that Parker Washington is the team's best offensive weapon, but precisely for that reason, Houston will make sure that he's bracketed throughout the game. The good news is that the Jaguars will have no shortage of weapons, whether it's ascending rookie Josh Cameron, wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, or tight end Brenton Strange.
In fact, Strange is second on the team in targets behind Parker Washington with 26. He's hauled in 21 receptions for 235 yards with one touchdown in five games this season. The former Penn State Nittany Lion is on pace to set new personal records for catches and receiving yards in a season.
With Meyers, Cameron, and Washington drawing coverage, Strange should have ample space to work with in the middle of the field. That should make him an intriguing target for Lawrence, who'll look for him often.
That will lead to an eight-catch, 100-yard game with two touchdowns for Brenton Strange in a win over the Texans.
