NFL Betting: Houston Texans @ NY Jets

[Betfair]

The New York Jets have got the job done by hook or by crook in recent weeks. This is another job they should get done, says Andy Richmond.

For the NY Jets it's been a question of just getting the job done recently - becoming the first NFL side to win back-to-back overtime games on the road (both on the final play of the game).
For the Texans it's been a very different story - they blew the game on the very last play against the Jaguars last week and that came a week after they tossed away a nine point fourth quarter lead against the Chargers. Both of those defeats comprise part of a five game run which has seen them lose four of those five, leaving them at 4-5.

The result may not be much better against the Jets, whom the Texans have not beaten in four meetings since entering the league in 2002. Clearly they are not executing in all departments and defensively they look extremely porous, conceding 409.7 yards per game and 28.6 points per game. They have also allowed at least 10 points in 14 of 36 quarters this season.

Offensively Houston have been moving the ball without translating those numbers into wins, although with NFL leading rusher Arian Foster being held to 56 yards against the Jaguars, they will need to utilise WR Andre Johnson. His job will be to move the ball against a New York defence that's fifth in the league with an average of 89.6 rushing yards allowed.
