The Plugs Game Prediction
💎 HOUSTON TEXANS ML -115
These two teams come into this game in a three way tie for first place in the AFC South, Jacksonville is currently 9-7 as well. The winner of this game will lock up a playoff spot and possibly the division title, so this is a huge game for both teams today. Houston has been one of the more entertaining teams to watch this season, as they have a very strong passing attack with Stroud at quarterback. The Texans are 3-4 on the road, while Indianapolis is 4-4 at home. I think Stroud is going to be the difference in this game. We have seen him play very well this season and I think he is going to have another strong performance here. Take the Texans on the road.
