NFL Predictions: Houston Texans Lay the Smackdown on the London Jaguars

The Houston Texans are riding a wave of momentum into their Week 6 clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London, after a season-opening win and a high-profile trade that reunited quarterback C.J. Stroud with former college teammate Marvin Harrison Jr.

The move has reignited optimism among fans, though opinions remain divided on whether the trade—secured with 2027 draft capital—will address Houston’s deeper offensive struggles. On the injury front, the Texans have seen key contributors return to practice, including safety Ja’Marcus Ingram (limited), linebacker Henry To’oTo’o (limited), and wide receiver Tank Dell (full), who could make his first appearance in nearly two years.

While the roster still lacks running back David Montgomery and safety Jalen Pitre, the influx of returning players has bolstered Houston’s depth ahead of Sunday’s 8:30 AM CST matchup, where they enter as 2.5-point underdogs despite the Jaguars’ strong start to the season. Bookmakers expect a tight game, and if Harrison Jr.—a red-zone threat with elite separation skills—can capitalize on his chemistry with Stroud, the Texans could pull off an upset in London.
