The line is moving up for Houston, while the total has gone down. Looks like the public is expecting a strong Texans defensive performance.

Colts went from -7 to +1 week 1. Sorry buddy
I don't count that one because that was just a Manning adjustment not a true move.

There has been ZERO games in the nfl this year where the line went from -4 to a true -7.
Who cares about a line going from -18 to -22.....

Mushroom, there have 3 games this year excluding week 1 with three point line moves.
2.5 moves are a lot more common.
I really want Houston to lose. :\

This is an idiotic line jump. Johnson has been probable all week and realistically how much action is he going to see with Leinart? Game plan is to feed Foster/Tate-let the off.line do their thing with the odd screen pass. HOU -3 was my play, I don't think I would be on -6.5 as we really don't know about Leinart and JAX has a great defense even if there offense is beyond brutal. I was wondering what caused this jump, didn't think it would just be Johnson but whatever people groove on I guess. Good luck

You could still tease HOU and get relatively good value.
Otherwise take the points with JAX and bet against Leinhardt.

Buying a few points and taking HOU at -4.5...Houston still has one of the best running duos and one of the best wide receivers in the league playing and one of the best defenses in the league. This will put alot of pressure off of Leinart's back.
Gabbart has played some really uninspired football of late

Wow, sounds like none of you did you home work. The line moved because many of the defensive starters are out for jaags. Hous will play with back up qb and jax will play with a def line that is almost all back ups. I still think jags cover this.

Still like them at -6.5. Too many reasons point to Texans. I'm surprised it is not around 9. Couple Important D are still questionable, if they go to doubtful, line could move to 7

I don't exactly understand you first sentence. I wasn't comfortable laying down the -7. I could see the Texans winning by 6. Coulda took 5.5 but chose to take the extra insurance point.

You think a 3 point move 2 days before game day is a "public" move. Surely you are not serious...right?

I still stand by J-Ville +3 1/2
Leinart couldn't Fitzy in phoenix
Andre isn't that much of a difference
The Jacksonville Jaguars are going to play the rest of the season with several backups on defense, and things could get worse.
Lot of injuries. Jax will play mostly backups on D.

I find it funny how everyone on here got a -3 when most books never had it, had huge juice on it or it was available for a very short time. Yet when we have discussions on lines sunday night/monday it is to soon for majority to even talk about let alone make a play.

Yeah, the only way to play this now is tease Hou or ml parlay or take jax +7 if that's who you like.
Mind you, the spread does not come into play that often as some people think.

How is any game pointless to bet on if you see an angle LB? Very strange comment...

A few notes from ESPN: Stacked box: The Texans will welcome the Jaguars’ defense to load up the box in an effort to slow the run game and put more on Matt Leinart's shoulders. Running back Arian Foster is excellent against fronts with an extra defender. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Foster has the fourth-most rushes (125) against defenses with eight or more defenders in the box pre-snap over the last two seasons. Foster has done well in these situations, averaging 3.9 yards per rush, which is half a yard per rush better than the NFL average. He’s also second in first downs over that time period with 39. The Jaguars will be without starting cornerback Rashean Mathis and the other starting corner, Derek Cox, is also expected to miss the game. Leinart should have some favorable matchups with Andre Johnson back.
Capable of an upset: The Jaguars have won four straight home games against the Texans, are 2-2 at home this season and are 2-1 against the AFC South. All that provides some reason for confidence Sunday at EverBank Field. But, they face the league’s top defense while ranking 31st in the NFL in scoring at 12.5 points per game. The Jaguars have yet to score more than 20 points in a game this season, making them just the second team to fail to score more than 20 points in their first 10 games in the last four seasons (2009 Raiders). Blaine Gabbert continues to show he’s not ready to be playing -- Jacksonville’s offense is producing an NFL-worst 249.5 yards per game. No team has averaged fewer than 250 yards per game in a season since 2008, when the Browns and Bengals did it.
Cheers

I'll probably do a 6 point tease of Houston -.5 and under 43 on this game.
