BETWEEN THE LINES
THREE REASONS TO LIKE THE TEXANS (-31/2) over the JAGUARS
After two weeks, it's obvious the Jaguars are offensively challenged. Averaging 14 points a game is not going to cut it.
The Texans' offense came alive last week against the Titans, which is what you can expect from them on a weekly basis.
The Jags have given up 279 yards passing a game. The Texans will exploit their secondary and blow this game open.
THREE REASONS TO LIKE THE 49ERS (+7) OVER THE VIKINGS
Both teams have good defenses, which should produce a close game.
Vikings Adrian Peterson is being slowed by injuries. That might be enough to keep it closer.
The 49ers allow only 53 yards rushing a game. If Peterson is contained, that swings the edge to the 49ers.
LAST WEEK: 1-1
SEASON: 2-2
