The Houston Texans lost a stunner to the Tennessee Titans in Week 12 but now they'll get a chance to bounce back against another AFC South opponent in Week 13 when they take off the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are coming off their BYE.

The Texans are in little danger of falling out of the lead in the division, but they need to find some level of form ahead of the start of the playoffs. Can they bounce back on Sunday?

Texans vs. Jaguars Key Players to Watch

Houston Texans

Joe Mixon: The Texans offense is at its best when Joe Mixon is firing on all cylinders and that's exactly what didn't happen last week against the Titans. He averaged just 1.6 yards per carry, rushing for 22 yards on 14 carries. Houston needs to figure out its run game in a hurry.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence: The Jaguars star quarterback has returned to practice this week, giving fans hope he'll return to action on Sunday. He had a couple of great starts before going down with an injury, including throwing for over 300 yards against the Packers. Can he provide the spark the Jags need?

Texans vs. Jaguars Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the "Road to 272 Bets", I broke down why I'm betting on the total instead of a side in this AFC South duel:

Trevor Lawrence returned to practice on Monday meaning there's a chance he returns to the lineup on Sunday to take on the Jaguars' divisional foe. That's enough to make me lean toward the Jaguars, especially considering how great their offense was looking before Lawrence went down with an injury, but their defense is going to keep me away from doing that. Instead, I'm going to take the OVER on a total that's set at a relatively low number of 43.

The Jaguars rank dead last in opponent EPA and 29th in opponent success rate while ranking dead last in opponent yards per play, allowing 6.2 yards per snap. Any game involving a defense that bad shouldn't have a total of 43.

Let's sit back and root for points as the Texans try to bounce back from a tough loss to the Titans.

Pick: OVER 43.5 (-110)
