Houston vs. Jacksonville Prediction Week 1
Both teams are in rebuilds of epic proportions, and Houston is going to carry Deshaun Watson on the roster as they await a decision in his serious off-the-field allegations. Can Tyrod Taylor lead the Texans to a respectable finish after burning bridges with their franchise players?
Jacksonville is going all-in on the Trevor Lawrence era, having traded away Gardner Minshew to the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s going to be tough for Lawrence to be without his college teammate, Travis Etienne who got hurt in the preseason and is out for the year.
