Week 9 of the NFL season kicks off tonight as the Houston Texans take on the New York Jets.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Texans are 1.5 point favorites against the Jets. The Texans have won four of their last five games, but most of their games during that stretch were tightly contested. They are 4-0 at home, and 2-2 on the road.
The Jets are in the midst of a disastrous 5-game losing streak, and Aaron Rodgers and the Jets faithful are frustrated. Who is to blame? The offense? The defense? The coaching? Like Cleveland earlier this season, nothing can seem to go right for the Jets. My picks record has been pretty decent this season, but I often feel like I rarely take an upset. Despite the spread being low, I think a 2-6 team beating a 6-2 team would qualify as an upset, and that’s what I’m going with here. Sometimes, those oh-so-close moments will lead to a win, and Houston hasn’t been as effective on the road. Jets 23, Texans 20
