Game: Jacksonville Jaguars (5-10) at Houston Texans (8-7)

Prediction: The Jacksonville Jaguars have had a extremely up and down season. Blake Bortles has been trending upward for the Jaguars as he has thrown over 4,000 yards to go along with 35 touchdowns to only 16 interceptions.

The Houston Texans look to sweep the Jaguars this season as they have already beat a more healthy Jaguars team 31-20 in October.

The Texans have their sights set on winning the AFC South en route to a wild card playoff spot. The problem the Texans will face is if they will rest any specific players. Texans will definitely use either a mix of Brandon Weeden and BJ Daniels or Brian Hoyer and Weeden.

I expect the Texans to play most of their starters in the first half, and depending on the scores around the league, Texans will enter a number of backups to enter the second half.

This matchup looks as like Houston will score more points than their previous meeting as they will face an injured Jacksonville defense.

Final Score: Houston 24, Jacksonville 10
