Happy Thanksgiving Yall! 

There's a lot to be thankful this year as Texans fans.

We're thankful to have found our franchise QB, who is a well rounded human being and is lights out on the field.

We're thankful for bring Capt back home to lead this franchise out of its dark days.

We're thankful for Lovie Smith winning that what we thought was a meaningless Week 18 game last season.

And last but not least, we're thankful for the Carolina Panthers organization for falling in love and taking Bryce Young #1 overall.

Now onto the game

If you would have told any of use that this Week 12 game would be for the #4 Seed and the AFC South Division lead, we all would have said your full of turkey, or just pulling out hambone. 

But here we are....

This game has its all. 

2 of the better young QBs in the league, although TLaw has had an up and down season, last week he was firing on all cylinders vs the Colts.

2 of top drafted edge rushers in previous years in WAJ and Travon Walker.

2 do everything backs in Motor Singletary and ETN.

A young WR corps for the Texans who are flourishing in front of our eyes, pitted against a talented veteran WR room in Jacksonville. 

This game will come down to the QB's. Can CJ Stroud shake the flourish of INTs he's thrown lately? Will TLaw pick up where he left off last week?

I think we're in store for a high scoring affair that'll get the blood pumping as were all recovering from our tryptophan coma's.

 

LJC's Prediction: Texans 27 Jags 31

Home game is a positive. The only thing I wish is that our secondary was 100%. This one will become a shoot out. 
 

looking a little too far ahead and a loss in the division to the jags means we avoid the Chiefs and ravens next year. Obviously that doesn’t factor into trying to win, but it’s a nice little consolation if we lose to know that we should be much better next year without as tough a schedule.

Our 3 toughest games left on the schedule are Jags, Broncos and Browns and they are all at home. 
 

toughest road game left is the colts week 18 

it’s gonna take 10 wins to make the playoffs, maybe 11 to avoid tie breakers. 
 

we could honestly lose to the jags and broncos back to back and still be in good shape to get to 10 wins. 
 

if we win the next two, we could be talking 12 wins potentially

We have the Jag's number over the years.  I wouldnt be shocked if they win but the Texans will be fired up tomorrow.  Tyson Campbell being out for them is huge for us. Assuming if Pierce plays It will be interesting to see how they work him back.  I think Singletary should get another 20 touches this week.   Stroud will torch their defense.

Having crushed the hometown Jaguars 37-17 back in Week #3 I anticipate a sweep.

     With the exception of QB (where rookie CJ Stroud gets better every week) and OG, Houston is higher ranked at every position on offense...

      ...and better at Strong Safety and two CB positions in a game that will be decided in the air.  The 1½ point spread with the visiting Jaguars as the favorite is an insult.  I took the Texans and gave 3½ points in a teaser.  This one shouldn't be that close.
