How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Houston Texans as the stronger side by 30 rating points, which on its own is worth about 1.2 points on the scoreboard (HOU 1,617, JAX 1,586).

This is a neutral-site game, so no home-field adjustment is applied at all.

That lands on a projected margin of -1.2, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Houston Texans at 54%.

The market disagrees. The closing line makes Jacksonville Jaguars the favourite by 1.5. Our engine sees only results — it has no view on injuries, roster changes or who a team has signed. When we split from the line, history says we're wrong more often than right, and we show you that rather than dressing the disagreement up as an edge.
