Analysis
The disappointing Jaguars are slight underdogs at Houston because the defense cannot stop Steve Slaton. Slaton has a 39 percent chance of rushing for over 90 yards and he is averaging over 5 ypc. If the Jaguars can rediscover their defense of years past and hold Slaton under 80 yards rushing while forcing at least one Sage Rosenfels interception the Custom Game Simulator makes the Jags the favorite winning 67 percent of these simulations. The Jaguars need Maurice Jones-Drew to run the ball well. Fred Taylor is being held under 4 ypc once again. If MJD has at least 50 yards rushing with 1 rushing TD the Jaguars have the edge winning 64 percent of the time. If he is under 50 yards the Jags are losing by an average of 5 points.
