Matchup Analysis

SourceHouston has a win after Stroud's strong game

SourceMontgomery’s availability is a key Houston question
David Montgomery is questionable with a groin injury after leaving the Titans game; coach DeMeco Ryans said he could miss some time.
SourceJaguars could be without their left tackle
Jacksonville could be without its starting left tackle after the starter was carted off with a knee injury and ruled out for the rest of Sunday’s London game; the current injury report lists the starter as questionable.
SourceHouston's receiving group may take time to settle
Houston's receiving group is a notable matchup storyline, but the report does not establish how quickly it can contribute.
SourcePick Ideas
Jaguars moneyline over laying the points
Consider Jacksonville’s moneyline around -145 to -150 rather than laying three points; Wembley is neutral, so pass if the price rises much higher.
Under 43.5, if available
Consider the under at 43.5 or better: Jacksonville has allowed 70 points through five games and Houston has scored 110; at 42.5, pass rather than treat it as an automatic play.
