Houston Texans Face New York Jets on Thursday

The Houston Texans (6-2) are set to face the New York Jets (2-6) on Thursday Night Football, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. The Texans are dealing with significant injuries, particularly to star receiver Stefon Diggs and leading receiver Nico Collins, impacting their offensive capabilities. Despite these challenges, quarterback C.J. Stroud has shown resilience, throwing for 285 yards and a touchdown in their last game against the Colts. The Jets are struggling with a five-game losing streak and have failed to cover the spread in their last five games, heightening pressure as they return home to MetLife Stadium. Betting lines indicate a close matchup with the Jets favored by 1.5 points, while the over/under is set at 42.5 points. The Texans' rushing attack, led by Joe Mixon, remains a bright spot as they look to secure a win against the struggling Jets.
