Jaguars Breakdown: The 2008 Jacksonville Jaguars have been unable to duplicate the winning formula they employed last season and as a result they sit at 4-7 and tied for last in the AFC South. Last week Jacksonville was punished at home 30-12 by the Vikings; the loss was the Jags fourth in their last five games. The Jaguars woes originate from their mediocre offense (20.4 points per game), which is averaging just 110.2 rushing yards per game, down from 149.4 per game in 2007.
Texans Breakdown: Houston is also suffering through a disappointing season, sitting at 4-7 and tied with Jacksonville in the South standings. Last Sunday the Texans snapped a three game losing streak by beating the Browns 16-6 in Cleveland. The win was Houston's first victory away from Reliant Stadium this season. The Texans are a capable offensive unit, they are averaging 26.4 points per game at home this year.
Monday Night Football Betting Trend: Jacksonville is 6-4 straight up in their last 10 games as a road underdog.
