New York Jets vs Houston TexansRecap for November 28th, 2021, 1:00PM ET

The Texans shocked the Titans last week, but that was a game in which the Titans had 3 turnovers and Houston managed just 190 yards of offense, and the Texans are dead last in both total offense and scoring offense. This isn't a matter of 'liking' the Jets so much as it is reluctance to lay points with Houston's non-existent offense.

On the other side of the coin, New York has yet to win on the road this year. And have surrendered 99 total points in their last two road games.

This is a crap shoot of a game, but I'll take the points with the better offense and that's the Jets.

The Houston Texans are hosting the New York Jets this Sunday. The two teams have gone 2-8 in their respective leagues, but both boast a win over Tennessee Titans.

After three consecutive losses to start the season, New York thumped the Tennessee Titans 27-24 on October 3.

The Texans lost their first eight games, with five of those losses coming by ten points or more. They finally got back in the win column last Sunday as an underdog at home against Tennessee. They were 10 point dogs but came out on top! This is the team's first road win this year which proves how much better off things are now.

Both teams struggle to score and gain yardage, but the Texans still have a significant edge. They have been facing premier quarterbacks throughout the year, but now they will be going up against a rookie, who was playing behind a backup at that. Therefore, I am betting on the Texans to win this one.

The Jets are last in the AFC East Division, 0-5 away, and have lost three games in a row. The defense gives up a lot of points, but some games have been close against average to below average teams. NY just lost to Miami 24-17. It was close from start to finish, and the Jets lost 10-3 in the fourth. The Texans defense also gives up a lot of points and their offense can be more miss than hit. They just ended their eight game losing streak with a 22-13 win over the Titans. Houston took advantage of five Titans turnovers and the offense only put up 190 yards. Jets win 24-20.

Texans are favored at -2.5 against the Jets. It's probably only because they are playing at home and that Zach Wilson has been cleared to play and Flacco and White both have COVID. For the Jets, WR Elijah Moore had a breakout game last week with 8 rec, 141 yards, and a TD. Crowder even had 6 rec with 44 yards. However, QB Zach Wilson hasn't played since week 7 at NE, and prior to that, he hasn’t shown that he's building a rapport with this receiving unit. And the Jets defense also gives up 32 points per game, and 414 total yards allowed. With a veteran running back core, and QB Tyrod Taylor having a dual threat ability that allows him to value possessions, I give the edge to the Texans at home. Last week Taylor had 2 rushing TD’s with only 107 yards throwing. But he had 0 INT’s and at the end of the day, can you really trust the Jets and Zach Wilson who are 2-8 ATS.

$100| HOU -2.5 $100| Over 44.5

The Jets have been losing mainly due to their DEF. 551 v NE, 532 v IND, 489 v BUF. These are top five AFC offenses. Now a step back v HOU OFF/DEF. Houston 29th per play, 26th p/pass. HOU just 3.1 per play (-2.3) in win v TEN. NYJ 6.4 (+0.6) v MIA. The Texans shouldn't be laying points to anyone.
