After their dismal performances last season, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans are wanting to rebound in 2011-2012, and they will meet 1 another on the field in Week 8 of the NFL season. Both teams were simply awful on defense in 2010, with the Texans 29th in points allowed and the Jaguars 27th. Both teams, again, have made a lots of progress on the defensive end through the first 7 weeks of this season.

The Jaguars, though, are experiencing numerous problems on offense this year. They’re dead last in the league in total yards, rushing TDs, first downs, and passing yards. The squad is also nearby last place in some other areas, notably passing TDs and points scored. Their performance thus far this season has been disappointing, understandably, and there is really no reason at all to expect them to do any better this week against the Texans.

Does the Houston defense even need to do just about anything to stop the Jags’ offense? While the Jaguars do a great job of failing at every offensive play, the Houstons still need 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 has been improved enough to offer the Texans some trouble.

Both teams have had a horrible early schedule so far, but do not count the Jaguars out yet. Although the Texans are the slightly better team in this match-up, the Jags can hang around and keep games close. Jacksonville just has 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 couple of wins. The Texans must show up strong and make up a lead if they hope to keep the Jaguars out of the game once and for all
.
The Texans are the -9 ½ point favorites with the over-under at 40 ½ points.
