Taking the over here houston gives up points by the dump truck load
Jacksonville at Houston (12/01/2008)

Bob Mcnair (Texans owner) has been all over local TV talking about what a great opportunity this is for Texans and the city of Houston. You can bet Texans are going to do their best to put on a hell of a performance. Texans will definitely cover 3 and I am leaning pretty hard on the over as well.

If you want to try and break even or get out of a hole here is the play for tonight.
This is a Big Play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Things to consider tonight..................
Over is 10-2 in HOU last 12 games in December.
Over is 9-2 in HOU last 11 vs. AFC.
Over is 13-3 in HOU last 16 games overall.
Houston and Jacksonville both suck but this is MNF and Houston is in the Lime Light...

JAX +3 for me
Wrong stat:
Houston beat Cinci 35-6 on 10/26 as a 9 points home favor
Houston is 1-4 ATS last 5 home game & 3-2 SU
It is worth consider Houston is the line is (3) since Houston is 3-2 SU at home. But they are both sucks!
It is hard to pick a winner for this game since neither team is playing for a playoff spot
Slight edge to Houston since they are playing on MNF for the first time at home.
Every day out of the red is a big win.

Does anyone know the status of the QB's? I love all this talk about "Houston will cover", "J'ville will cover", without solid handicapping reasons. There are a few pertinent angles discussed (first Monday night game, bad Houston run D, MNF 11-1 over), but most people just list there pick without any further comment, what good is that? One angle you might want to start with is "who is playing and how healthy they are". Not a single mention of player status in this entire thread???

Both teams are beat up and really have nothing to play for other than being in the National spotlight and this being the Texans first MNF. Just remember during the season. Jacksonville lost to Cincinnati 19-21 and Houston beat Cincinnati 35-6.
Also Jacksonville lost to Cleveland 17-23 at home and Houston beat Cleveland 16-6 last week in the Dog Pound, (Which is not what it has been in the past) but a win is a win.
Both are 4-7 and have no defense and I wouldn't bet a dime on Garrard. He reminds me a lot of J. Russell of Oakland and I remember him from yesterday. This is just my opionion and my money is on Houston tonight.

JAC at HOU -3
Team Stats NFL Ranking
Total Off: Hou #4 (374 yds/gm), Jac #22 (314 yds/gm)
Passing Off: Hou #4, Jac #18
Rushing Off: Hou #15, Jac #20
Pt/gm: Hou #23 (22.9), Jac #24 (20.4)
Total D: Jac #14 (319 yds/gm), Hou #20 (334 yds/gm)
Passing D: Hou #13, Jac #14
Rushing D; Jac #19, Hou #23
Pts/gm: Jac #17 (21.8 pts/gm), Hou #28 (26.6 pts/gm)
Interesting Stats
Penalty yds: Hou #2 (392yds), Jac #20 (586yds),
Field Goals: Hou #24 (17-19) Jac #26 (16-20)
Off Int: Hou #1 (17), Jac #26 (8)
Looking at the off stats for Hou I ask,
Why are they nearly the best in yds/gm and only #23 in pts/gm?
Do they kick lots of FGs? No, way down at #24
Answer is they lead the league in INT. They turn over the ball after getting lots of yds passing.
Matt Schwab might suitup tonight after injuring his L knee in Minn gm. He has been out the last 3 games where Sage Rosenfels has thrown 7 ints in 3 games (4 vs Bal) ouch! Rosenfels has only 2 td passes in 3 games, also had a fumble in Cinn, pass rating like 79
Also the pt/gm avg for Hou with S Rosenfels at QB is down to 18.6tpt/gm
Last time they went to OT and Jac won. (M Schwab had 0 int and had a great game, with S Rosenfels it will be worse for Hou)
Hou QB situation combined with their bad Def make Jac my pick
Taking JAC +3 for big, and ML +140 for med

This is the first time that the Houston Texans have hosted a Monday Night Football game in the history of the franchise, so look for an inspired effort here vs. a Jacksonville Jaguars team that appears to be just going through the motions at this point.
Houston ML BIG & Med size play on spread.
That's just how I roll....
