Texans vs Jets Pick, Prediction
Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:
I probably don't need to tell you the Jets offense is terrible. They rank last both rushing and passing over the past five weeks and Zach Wilson isn't exactly going to fix that, especially with Houston's defense trending up. The Texans' defensive line should wreak havoc, and the Jets are averaging under 10 PPG over their past six games.
So can the Texans get to 24? You'd think so, but Houston has been at 22 or below in all but four games, and don't forget that the Jets defense is still the best unit on the field. The pass defense remains spectacular and has completely befuddled elite quarterbacks. C.J. Stroud has been incredible as a rookie, but he could be in for a rude awakening on the road.
This still looks like an under play, even at the reduced total. Unders at 37 or below over the past four calendar years are 28-7-1 (80%), and they're 16-4-1 (80%) with a total at 38 or below entering this week. All the better for the under if we get some weather to muck things up too.
Pick: Under 33.5
