The kick-off is slated for 1 p.m. and the game will be broadcast regionally on CBS. <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Date\/Time: Sunday, Nov. 27\u00a0\u00a0 1 p.m. (ET)<br \/>\nVenue: EverBank Field, Jacksonville, FL<br \/>\nBroadcast: CBS<br \/>\nTexans at Jaguars lines by BetOnline.com<br \/>\nPoint spread: Texans -3.5<br \/>\nOver\/Under: 37.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Houston extended its winning streak to four games with a 37-9 victory over Tampa Bay on Nov. 13 as a 3.5-point road favorite, but suffered a major setback in its march to the postseason with the loss of Matt Schaub to a possible season-ending injury to his foot. It is currently 7-3 straight-up (6-3-1 against the spread) and has a two-game lead over Tennessee in the division. The total has stayed \u2018under\u2019 in six of its 10 games this year.<\/p>\n<p>It will be up to Leinart to keep things rolling for the Texans even though he has not started a game in the NFL in two years. Fortunately, Houston\u2019s vastly improved defense should be able to carry some of the load in this game especially against a Jaguars\u2019 offense that is one of the worst in the league. <\/p>\n<p>Jacksonville lost five of its first six games, but is 2-2 in its last four and has an overall record of 3-7 SU (4-5-1 ATS). It already lost to Houston 24-14 earlier in the season, but was able to force a \u2018push\u2019 as a 10-point road underdog. The total stayed \u2018under\u2019 the 41-point line and has stayed \u2018under\u2019 in nine of its 10 games this year. [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The Jaguars have to hope they can grind out a win against a rusty Leinart with a defense that is ranked third in the NFL in total yards allowed and fifth in points allowed; giving-up an average of just 18 points a game.<\/p>\n<p>The Texans are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as road favorites and the total has stayed \u2018under\u2019 in six of their last eight games against the AFC.<\/p>\n<p>The Jaguars are 2-7-1 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs. The total has stayed \u2018under\u2019 in their last five games against the AFC.<\/p>\n<p>The home team in this series is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings and Houston is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four games overall. The total has gone 3-3 in the last six games. Given the current situation, the \u2018under\u2019 appears to be the best play in this matchup, but stick with the Texans to persevere with Leinart to extend their winning streak to five.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Pick: Houston 20\u00a0vs. Jacksonville 13<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CHECK OUT OUR <a href=\"\/forums\/nfl-football-betting\/\"><strong>NFL football betting forums<\/strong><\/a> today!
