Jets 27, Texans 25

This game is tough to predict. QBZach Wilsonreturns to the lineup for the Jets. But that wont matter if the defense continues to allow an average of 39.8 points per game as they have since their bye week.

The Texans, though, are only averaging 15.0 points per game as a team, which is dead last in the league. That said, I just dont think we can count on the Texans winning two games in a row.

Take the JETS (+115).

The Jets are a league-worst 2-8 ATS this season, while the Texans are a respectable 5-5 ATS. The Texans have not covered the spread in consecutive games since the first two weeks of the season. New Yorks only two games it covered the spread were its two victories.

Take the JETS +2.5 (-103).

The Jets had a run of six straight games hitting the Over that was snapped last week. The Texans are 4-6 O/U this season and only one of their last five has gone Over the projected total. With a couple of bad defenses going at it, it should mean points.

Take OVER 45.5 (-108).
