After weeks of looking ahead to the Texans' second matchup with the Jaguars, the exact scenario Houston fans were hoping for has come to fruition.

If the Texans can beat the Jags at NRG this Sunday, they will vault to the top of the division, and be in control of their own destiny as they head toward the playoffs.

What a wild season it has been. So who has the advantage in this game? Vegas has the Jaguars as 1.5 point favorites, even though the game is in Houston.

The Jags are coming off a convincing victory over the Titans, but were hammered the previous week by the 49ers. When we look at the matchups the Texans can exploit, attacking Jacksonville through the air looks like the way to go.

They are 4th overall in rushing yards against this season, so don't expect Devin Singletary to have his third straight game with over 100 rushing yards. The Jaguars defense only allows 87 yards per game on average.

They're 26th in the league when it comes to sacks, so CJ Stroud should have some time to operate in the passing game. And while yards should be fairly easy to come by in the air, Stroud will have to be careful when it comes to interceptions. Not only because he threw 3 of them against Arizona, but also because the Jags have the 4th-most interceptions in the league.

The other big factor to watch for in this game involves reputation. Stroud and the Texans have already beaten Jacksonville handily this year, winning by 20 points. If the Texans can beat them again and be in position to go from worst to first in the division, it will be clear that the Texans have the best QB in the AFC South.

And the MVP talk about CJ Stroud will gain even more momentum.
