The spread for the Jacksonville Jaguars Week 9 game against the Houston Texans slightly moved as we approach Sunday’s kickoff. Earlier in the week when we looked, it was at 6.5, but it has now moved to a full seven points, per BetMGM.
One of the more interesting things about Sunday’s game is that it appears rookie quarterback Jake Luton will be starting after receiving a majority of the snaps in practice. It would mark his first start since being drafted this April and comes after Gardner Minshew II revealed a thumb injury that he previously kept to himself last week.
Additionally, the money line saw a small change, going from +235 to +245. The over/under also changed, dropping from 51.5 to 50.5, which again, could be because of Luton and the potential struggles he could have putting up points.
Houston will come into Sunday’s game as the leader of the all-time series with a 24-13 record against the Jags. Despite having only one win this season (which came against the Jags), they will also be riding a five game win streak against the Jags which dates back to 2017.
