Edge is model probability minus the market's implied probability, in percentage points. Prop rows show our tier, and our odds only where our probabilities are calibrated; props carry no Kelly stake. One published number per market: where our sources disagreed we publish the most conservative defensible figure, and where they disagreed by more than 15 points the row is a conflict and carries no stake. ¼ Kelly is the share of a bankroll quarter-Kelly would put on the row at the published price — click it to size against your own bankroll on our Kelly calculator, or call kelly_size from our MCP server inside your own agent.

Texans 34, Jaguars 31 at Wembley: Ka’imi Fairbairn’s 49-yard field goal on the final snap, after Travis Hunter’s end-zone interception set up Cam Little from 60

Houston led 31-21 late in the third quarter in London and needed the last play to win. C.J. Stroud threw three touchdown passes, two of them to Foster Moreau, and Jawhar Jordan ran 25 yards for a 10-point lead. Trevor Lawrence answered with four touchdown passes, the last a 7-yarder to Hunter, and Hunter then intercepted Stroud in the end zone with 3:59 left, which led to Little’s 60-yard field goal to tie it at 31 with 1:55 to go. Stroud moved the Texans from their 32 to the Jacksonville 32 and Fairbairn made the 49-yarder as time expired. DraftKings opened Jacksonville, the designated home team, as a 1.5-point underdog and closed it a 2.5-point favorite; Houston won by three, and 65 points finished over both the opening 41.5 and the closing 42.5.

Texans 34—Jaguars 31

Final✗ Call missed

The chip reads a miss. It grades our stored probability, which had Jacksonville at 58.8%: the market’s own number, anchored at weight zero (w = 0) from a 2.5-point line, with the Jaguars as the designated home team on a neutral field. Houston won. The model’s own read was Jacksonville by 2.4, a 0.1-point lean toward Houston, tier NONE: the model and the market had the same game, so there was no call to grade. The quarterback gate read PASS. The ledger held no row on this game. The final pre-kickoff board carried one PLAY row, and it won: Dalton Schultz over 3.5 catches, HIGH, YES at 46.5¢, closed 46.5¢ (CLV 0). He caught four. Twenty-one visible WATCH rows went 17-4 and are graded apart, never folded into the record. Bhayshul Tuten’s rushing ladder won all five unders (49.5 through 79.5) on 12 carries for 39 yards, Chris Rodriguez Jr. won all three overs (9.5, 14.5, 19.5) on 55, Schultz’s three other catch and yardage rows won, Marvin Harrison Jr. over 1.5 catches won on three, Jakobi Meyers over 3.5 catches won on five, and both Parker Washington unders won on four. The losses: Josh Cameron over 1.5 catches and Brian Thomas Jr. over 1.5 catches (no catches either; Thomas was targeted twice), Lawrence under 9.5 rushing yards (three carries for 11; the 14.5 rung won), and Xavier Hutchinson over 2.5 catches (two; the 1.5 rung won). Two passing-yards rows on Lawrence are suppressed stats the board never displayed, and they count in neither direction.

How it happened

Q1

Moreau from 6, a Tuten touchdown wiped out by holding, and Calen Bullock’s end-zone interception

Houston went 62 yards in five plays, a 42-yard Stroud throw to Nico Collins setting up Moreau’s 6-yard touchdown. Jacksonville answered with a 14-play drive that reached the Houston 3. Early in the second quarter Tuten’s touchdown run was nullified by a Brenton Strange holding penalty, and on the fifth snap of the quarter Lawrence’s throw for Meyers was intercepted by Calen Bullock in the end zone.

Lawrence hit Tuten for a 27-yard touchdown, Fairbairn kicked a 25-yarder after Schultz slipped short of a third-down marker in the red zone, Lawrence found Tuten again from two yards with 55 seconds left, and Houston needed three plays and 47 seconds to go 63 yards for Moreau’s 1-yard catch with eight seconds left.

Q3

A too-many-men flag kept Houston on the field, and Noel and Jordan made it 31-21

Jacksonville was flagged for too many men on the field on a Houston punt early in the third quarter, and the Texans’ 11-play, 65-yard drive ended with Stroud’s 13-yard touchdown to Jaylin Noel. Lawrence’s 1-yard throw to rookie tight end Nate Boerkircher cut it to 24-21, and Jordan answered with a 25-yard run 1:44 later.

Hunter caught a 7-yard touchdown from Lawrence to make it 31-28 with 11:26 left. Houston answered with a 12-play, 7:33 drive that ended when Hunter intercepted Stroud in the end zone, and Little’s 60-yarder tied it with 1:55 left. Stroud found Woody Marks for 19 yards to the Jacksonville 41, and Fairbairn kicked the 49-yarder with no time left. “Just made a mistake,” Stroud said of the interception, his first of the season.

What this recap does not know

  • The ledger has not graded this game, and it holds no nfl_weekly_edges row for it. Grading runs Tue/Wed on the Mac-mini launchd schedule because Kalshi IP-blocks the GitHub runner. Every outcome above is derived from the ESPN box score and play-by-play, and the prop grades come from a script run against the box score (handoffs/artifacts/NFL_W6_SUNDAY_RECAPS_2026-10-18/prop-reconciliation-w06.csv), never by hand. If the ledger ever disagrees, the ledger is right and this page is wrong.
  • The DraftKings line moved four points, from Jacksonville +1.5 to −2.5, but ESPN’s core-odds endpoint carries no timestamp for the open, so this recap does not claim what moved it.
  • The play-by-play logs an Ameer Abdullah kickoff-return fumble recovered by Houston late in the third quarter, under replay review; Jacksonville kept the ball and scored on that possession, so this recap treats the fumble as overturned and leaves it out.
  • Josh Cameron played (a 46-yard kickoff return) but has no receiving line in the box score, so his WATCH row is graded on a real zero.
  • The severity of Reed Blankenship’s injury (he left in the first half, per the AP) and the umpire’s knee injury was not known when this was published. The AP reports Azeez Al-Shaair returned after a concussion evaluation.
  • This recap does not know what the Kalshi book did during the game. Nothing above is a live price; the DraftKings numbers are ESPN’s archived open and close.

A backup left tackle against the Texans’ pass rush, at 9:30 in the morning

Both quarterbacks are confirmed and healthy, so our gate has nothing to add here. What this game turns on is a single roster change: Jacksonville lost its starting left tackle in the Philadelphia win and will put a tackle with no 2026 starts in front of Trevor Lawrence against a Houston front that has eighteen sacks in five games and just put three on Cam Ward in one quarter. The counter is Jacksonville’s run defense, which is the best in football by every per-carry measure, against a Houston ground game that averages less than a yard before contact.

Texans pass rush · Jaguars pass protection

Walker Little, in for Anton Harrison, against Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr.

Edge: Texans

This is the matchup the week created. Harrison, a first-round pick in 2023 with more than fifty regular-season starts, grabbed his right knee blocking on a run play in the third quarter against the Eagles and was carted off; he is expected to have arthroscopic surgery when the team gets back from London, and the surgeon decides whether that is weeks or the season. Little, a 2021 second-rounder with nineteen career starts and none this year, is the expected replacement. He draws Danielle Hunter, who lines up over the left tackle and posted three and a half sacks and a forced fumble the last time Houston played Jacksonville, and a Houston front that got eighteen sacks in five games without blitzing much — their sack rate on four-man rushes is third in the league. Lawrence has already been sacked ten times behind the healthy line. Jacksonville’s answer is structural rather than personal: the lowest dropback volume in the league, a run rate that is seventh-highest, and heavy sets that keep a tight end next to the tackle.

Texans run offense · Jaguars run defense

Houston’s run game, without David Montgomery, into the best run defense in football

Edge: Jaguars

The quiet reason Jacksonville can live with a backup tackle. Montgomery did not practise Wednesday with a groin injury and the club calls him week-to-week, which leaves Woody Marks as the back — he played 98% of the snaps once Montgomery went down against Tennessee and finished with 85 total yards on nineteen touches, at 3.5 yards a carry on the season. Houston backs average 0.68 yards before contact, which is 30th in the league, and the team as a whole gets hit at or behind the line on roughly half its runs. Jacksonville is the wrong opponent for that: 42.0 rushing yards a game allowed to backs, 2.5 yards a carry, a first down or touchdown allowed on 12% of backfield runs against a league average near 22%, and one run of fourteen yards or longer conceded all season. Houston has leaned pass-heavy by design anyway — 63% of its plays, ninth-highest — and this week that choice makes itself.

Texans pass offense · Jaguars coverage

Nico Collins — plus Marvin Harrison Jr.’s debut — against a cornerback room with three hamstrings

Edge: Texans

Collins has gone over a hundred yards in five of his last six games against Jacksonville, four of them in a row, and the Jaguars’ coverage profile says why: 11.1 yards per target allowed to opposing number-one receivers, which is 30th, and 144.2 yards a game to outside receivers, which is 31st. The room he faces got thinner on Wednesday — Montaric Brown did not practise with a hamstring, Jourdan Lewis and Jaylon Jones were both limited with hamstrings of their own, and Eric Murray is in the concussion protocol. Into that walks Marvin Harrison Jr., traded from Arizona on Sunday, Stroud’s college teammate, and confirmed by DeMeco Ryans on Wednesday to debut in London. Houston has twenty-one pass plays of twenty yards or more, tied for the league lead, and Stroud has not thrown an interception this season. The caution is Jacksonville’s scoring defense rather than its coverage: fourteen points a game allowed, second in the league, with a touchdown rate allowed on passes that is also second.

Both offenses inside the 20 · Texans right tackle

The red zone decides it, and Houston is the worst team in football there

Edge: Jaguars

Two teams with similar yardage profiles and opposite finishing. Jacksonville converts red-zone trips to touchdowns 19 percentage points more often than its opponents, the widest margin in the league; Houston converts 22 points less often than its opponents, which is 31st. Jacksonville has also scored first in every game this season, one of two teams to do it. That is why Stroud can post two straight twenty-point games — 26-of-34 for 261 and a rushing touchdown against the Titans — and the team can still sit at 1-4. Houston’s own line carries a question, too: Trent Brown did not practise Wednesday with a knee injury, and Jacksonville’s edge pair has been the reason its scoring defense ranks where it does. If both tackles are substitutes on Sunday, the game shrinks further toward the two run games, and that is a Jacksonville game.

Source: houstontexans.com — Week 6 injury report, Texans at Jaguars (2026-10-14)

What this read does not know

  • No one has a game-status designation yet, and four Houston starters did not practise. Montgomery (groin), Jalen Pitre (shoulder), Azeez Al-Shaair (groin) and Trent Brown (knee) were all non-participants Wednesday; the club calls Montgomery and Pitre week-to-week. Designations land Friday. The slate should be re-read after Friday’s report, and the pass-rush read above assumes Houston’s front is whole — Anderson was a limited participant for rest, not injury.
  • Marvin Harrison Jr.’s role in his first game is unknown. He was a vertical-only X in Arizona and is expected to play more Z in Houston with a wider route tree, but he was traded on Sunday and the club has said only that he will play. How many snaps, and whether he displaces Xavier Hutchinson or Collins’s targets, cannot be read from anything yet.
  • Houston’s coverage picture is a one-game sample. Its disguised-coverage rate jumped from 24% to 44% in the first game with DeMeco Ryans calling the defense again, with a season-high man rate. Whether that holds against Lawrence, who threw for a season-high 331 against Philadelphia, is not knowable from one week.
  • Records and standings here come from ESPN, not Pro Football Reference. PFR returned a Cloudflare challenge to every request this session. The ESPN table and the club sites agree — Jacksonville 4-1 after the London win over Philadelphia, Houston 1-4 after beating Tennessee 26-3 — but the standing rule is PFR and that check was not possible.

    Before kickoff: No home field: pricing Texans–Jaguars on neutral ground

    How this read is built →

    Written before the game and kept as published. Final: Houston Texans 34, Jacksonville Jaguars 31 — the graded call is above.

    The schedule flags this one as a neutral-site game, which changes how the number is built. The model zeroes out the usual 2.5-point home adjustment, so the line is pure ratings: +2.8 for the Jaguars against +0.5 for the Texans, giving the Jaguars by 2.5 and 57% to win. The Jaguars are the designated home team on paper only. Take home field out and the ratings gap is all that is left — which is why this number is a full 2.5 points different from what the same matchup would price at in Jacksonville.

    The sharpest unit gap in the game runs one way: the Jaguars offense grades +2.2 (8th of 32) against a Texans defense at -0.4 (13th) — 2.6 points of separation on our scale, and the single biggest reason the line sits where it does. Going the other direction, the Texans offense (+0.4, 16th) meets the Jaguars defense (-0.2, 11th), a 0.6-point gap.

    Zoom out to the full season and the model projects the Jaguars at 10.5 wins (favored in 12 of 17) and the Texans at 7.3 (favored in 10) — 3.2 wins apart across the year. By win probability this is the 9th-hardest game on the Jaguars' schedule and the 2nd-hardest on the Texans'.

    On the standings side, AFC South games are the ones that decide the tiebreakers. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker between two teams in the same division, and division record is the next — so the value of this result is not just the win column. They meet again in Week 15, which makes a sweep the outcome with real leverage on the AFC South race.

    One team has owned this series: the Texans are 32-16 in 48 regular-season meetings since 2002. They last met in 2025: Texans won 36-29 in November. Over their last 4 meetings the Jaguars are 1-3. Worth saying plainly — the model does not know any of that. It reads 2026 ratings and nothing else, so a lopsided series is a story, not a number on this page.

    Calibration check, because a near-even number is the easiest kind to overtrust: across 3266 walk-forward games (2013-2024) the model gave a side 55-60% in 797 of them, and those sides won 57%. The Jaguars at 57% are in that band. A margin that thin is why we would rather wait for a price than call it a lean.

    Kalshi listed this game as KXNFLGAME-26OCT18HOUJAC, and the contract has settled now that the game has been played. The last price we archived before kickoff is in the settled-market section on this page; there is no live price and no position left to take.

    Watch the breakdown: Texans vs Jaguars

    Texans vs Jaguars — frequently asked

    Who won Texans vs Jaguars in Week 6?

    Houston Texans 34, Jacksonville Jaguars 31 — final, played Sunday, October 18, 2026; our pre-game market-anchored line had the Jaguars by 2.5 (59% to win), and the Texans won, so that call missed. The full graded recap, with every player call resolved, is on this page.

    Who did the model favor in Texans vs Jaguars before kickoff?

    Before kickoff the market line favored the Jaguars by 2.5 points, a 59% win probability over the Texans. That number is kept on this page as the record of the call; Kalshi's KXNFLGAME-26OCT18HOUJAC market has since settled, so no price on it is live.

    Is there a home-field advantage in this game?

    No. The schedule flags it as a neutral-site game, so the model applies zero home-field points instead of the usual 2.5. The Jaguars are the designated home team for scheduling purposes only. The resulting line — Jaguars by 2.5 — is the raw ratings gap between +2.8 and +0.5.

    How do you take a position on Texans vs Jaguars?

    The contract will be KXNFLGAME-26OCT18HOUJAC on Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated exchange available in most states, with sports contracts restricted in some. It has not opened yet; when it does, the model would take the Jaguars at 57c or below, or the Texans at 39c or below. There is no point spread — you buy a yes or no contract on a team and it settles at $1 or $0.

    Where do the Jaguars and Texans play this game?

    Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars meet at Wembley Stadium, London, United Kingdom on Sunday, October 18, 2026, NFL Week 6. The Jaguars are the designated home team, so the game does not carry home-field advantage in our model.

    What does the model project for the Jaguars and Texans this season?

    Across all 17 games the model projects the Jaguars at 10.5 wins (favored in 12) and the Texans at 7.3 (favored in 10). This game ranks 9th-hardest on the Jaguars' schedule and 2nd-hardest on the Texans', by win probability.

    What are the Kalshi odds for Texans vs Jaguars?

    Kalshi listed this game as KXNFLGAME-26OCT18HOUJAC, and the contract has settled now that the game has been played. The last price we archived before kickoff is in the settled-market section on this page; there is no live price and no position left to take.

    Could you trade Texans vs Jaguars on Kalshi?

    This game has been played, so the Week 6 market KXNFLGAME-26OCT18HOUJAC has settled — there is no position left to take on it. While it was open it traded as an event contract rather than a point spread: Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated exchange available in most states, with sports contracts restricted in some, you bought a YES or NO contract on a team between 1c and 99c, and it settled at $1 or $0, so the price paid was the break-even probability. Kalshi lists the next week's games on the same terms.

    How often does the model win when it is 57% on a team like the Jaguars?

    57% of the time. Over 3266 walk-forward games from 2013-2024 — trained only on prior seasons, no market line as an input — the model put a team in the 55-60% range 797 times, and those teams won 57% of them. The Jaguars at 57% over the Texans sit in that band, off a 2.5-point model line. Straight-up across all 3266 graded games the model picked winners at 59.6%, with a Brier score of 0.236 against 0.25 for a coin flip.

    Is Jaguars to win worth a position?

    Our model puts it at 59% against a market price implying 56%, an edge of +2.7 points. Model 59% vs the last Kalshi price before kickoff, 56% on JAX — kept as the pre-game record. We pass — no position.
