Houston Texans favored for 1st win in Week 5 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Houston Texans are betting favorites in Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in search of their first win of the season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars (1-3) will look to get back on track after three straight losses against the winless Houston Texans (0-4) Sunday of Week 5 at NRG Stadium. Below, we take a look at the early Week 5 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Jaguars have lost three straight games following a stunning 27-20 win over the rival Indianapolis Colts in their season opener. They lost 33-25 to the Cincinnati Bengals and rookie QB Joe Burrow in Week 4. Jags QB Gardner Minshew completed 27 of 40 passes for 351 yards and two touchdowns with an interception in the losing effort.

The Texans have lost each of their first four games by at least 7 points. QB Deshaun Watson completed 20 of 33 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns but the defense gave up 31 points to the previously winless Minnesota Vikings in a 31-23 loss at NRG Stadium.
