Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans are wanting to Settle The Score In The 2011-2012 Season
After their dismal performances last season, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans are trying to rebound in 2011-2012, and they will get together one another on the field in Week 8 of the NFL season. Both teams were simply awful on defense last season, with the Texans 29th in points allowed and the Jaguars 27th. Both teams, again, are making a wide range of progress on the defensive end with the first 7 weeks of this season.
The Jaguars, though, are experiencing numerous problems on offense this season. They may be dead last in the league in total yards, rushing TDs, first downs, and passing yards. The squad is also close in on last place in a few other areas, notably passing TDs and points scored. Their performance thus far this season has been disappointing, as you would expect, and there is really no reason one can anticipate them to do any better this week against the Texans.
Does the Houston defense even need to do anything to stop the Jags’ offense? While Jaguars do a excellent job of failing at every offensive play, the Houstons still want to stop Jones-Drew and force them into long plays on 2nd and 3rd downs. And on the offensive end, the Texans need to keep their game dynamic, throwing different types of plays at the Jags defense. Fortunately for Jacksonville, their defense continues to be improved enough to offer the Texans some trouble.
Both teams have had a painful early schedule so far, but do not count the Jaguars out just yet. Although the Texans are the slightly better team in this match-up, the Jags can hang around and keep games close. Jacksonville has only been completely blown away from one game so far this season – a 32-3 loss to the Jets – but have struggled to drag out more than a handful of wins. The Texans will need to come out strong and build up a lead if they hope to keep the Jaguars out of the game completely

The Texans are the -9 ½ point favorites with the over-under at 40 ½ points.
