NFL: Jacksonville Jaguars at New York Jets
Ed Mulholland / USA TODAY Sports

Few teams look as dangerous heading into Week 17 as the Jacksonville Jaguars (7-8), who will be out for revenge against the Houston Texans (2-12-1) on CBS and Paramount+. The Texans have won nine consecutive games against the Jaguars, but Jacksonville is looking to win its first AFC South division title since 2017. The Jags won at Tennessee for the first time since 2013 in Week 14, and have the chance to get another monkey off their back this week in Houston.

Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET from NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Jacksonville is favored by 3.5 points in the latest Texans vs. Jaguars odds from Caesars Sportsbook, and the over/under is set at 43. You can stream the game in select markets on Paramount+, which you can try for free for 7 days.

Week 17 NFL picks for Texans vs. Jaguars

Before tuning into Sunday's Jaguars vs. Texans game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 158-113 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

For Jaguars vs. Texans, the model is backing the Under (43). Even though Houston is without its top rookies in running back Dameon Pierce and cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., as well as wide receiver Nico Collins -- who are all on injured reserve -- the Texans have continued to give opponents fits. While the Jaguars have been hot, they are certainly a flawed team, and lost their most productive pass-rusher, Dawuane Smoot, for the season (achilles) last Thursday against the New York Jets. The week before that, left tackle Cam Robinson went down with a season-ending meniscus injury.

Houston's offense is averaging just 278.9 yards per game, which ranks dead-last in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Jaguars held the Jets to just three points in their last outing. In addition, the Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams in Houston. The model is projecting the Under hits in well over 50% of simulations in this AFC South rivalry.
