#457/458 ASA FREE NFL PLAY ON Over 45.5 Points – Jacksonville vs Houston, Sunday at 1:00 PM ET - We don’t want to get involved in a side of this contest which features a pair of teams that won just 5 combined games last season, but we do like the Total and will bet OVER. It was obvious during the preseason that new Jags head coach Urban Meyer wants to play fast. In their last game they ran 73 plays which is unusually high for an exhibition game. Jacksonville did rank 6th in pace of play a year ago so look for them to play uptempo again this season. The offensive cupboard isn't bare for the Jags with rookie QB Lawrence, who has several weapons at his disposal, with 1,000-yard back James Robinson and receivers DJ Chark Jr. and Laviska Shenault Jr. Houston has gone through a complete rebuild this offseason with a new coach, new front office and a host of new players. The Texans are turning over their offense to QB Tyrod Taylor who lost his job to Herbert in Los Angeles a year ago. Taylor has some playmakers of his own on offense with Brandin Cooks (1,150 receiving yards, 81 catches) and a stable of running backs with Mark Ingram, Phillip Lindsay and Rex Burkhead. What we know for sure is that both defenses were atrocious last year and will struggle early on this season. The Texans were 30th overall in our defensive rankings while the Jags were 31st. Jacksonville gave up 27 or more points in eleven of their games a season ago. The Texans finished the season by allowing 25 or more points in 6 straight. Two bad defenses and a marginable Total make this an easy call with the OVER.
