The storyline. The Jaguars stay in London after Cam Little’s 57-yard field goal beat the Eagles 19-17 as time expired, and now host Houston at Wembley. Jacksonville is 4-1 with three straight wins. Houston is 1-4 but just beat Tennessee 26-3 for its first win, then traded for Marvin Harrison Jr., C.J. Stroud’s Ohio State teammate.

Eight storylines for Texans at Jaguars

Jacksonville stays in London after a walk-off

The Jaguars beat the Eagles 19-17 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday when Cam Little made a 57-yard field goal as time expired. Ameer Abdullah’s 53-yard kickoff return set it up with one second left, after Jake Elliott had put Philadelphia ahead 17-16 with eight seconds to play. Trevor Lawrence threw for 331 yards, and both of his touchdowns went to Parker Washington. “It was the coolest moment of my career,” Little said. AP via ABC News · Jaguars.com

Two London stadiums, two straight weeks

Sunday is the Jaguars’ 12th game at Wembley and the third time they have played consecutive games at Wembley and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In 2023 they became the first NFL team to play back-to-back home games in London, beating Atlanta at Wembley and Buffalo at Tottenham. Jacksonville is the home team again and came into the season as the defending AFC South champion. Jaguars.com · HoustonTexans.com

Jacksonville at 4-1

The Jaguars opened with a 34-10 win over Cleveland, lost 20-13 at Denver, then beat New England 35-6, Cincinnati 22-17 and Philadelphia for three straight wins. They came into Week 5 second in the league in scoring defense, but the Eagles game was their first this season without a takeaway. Twice they reached the Philadelphia 5 and came away empty, including Bhayshul Tuten being stopped on fourth-and-goal from the 1 at the end of the first half. Pro-Football-Reference · Jaguars.com

Houston finally wins one

The Texans beat Tennessee 26-3 in Nashville for their first win after a 0-4 start. C.J. Stroud threw for 261 yards, ran in a 2-yard touchdown to finish a 17-play, 8:23 drive, and threw a 9-yard touchdown to Jaylin Noel. Will Anderson Jr. had three of Houston’s four sacks, and Ka’imi Fairbairn kicked four field goals. Three of the four losses were by five points or fewer: 36-31 to Buffalo, 19-17 at Indianapolis and 34-30 to Dallas, with a 20-6 loss to Cincinnati in between. CBS Sports · ProFootballTalk · Pro-Football-Reference

Marvin Harrison Jr. joins his college quarterback

DeMeco Ryans confirmed after Sunday’s win that Houston traded for Marvin Harrison Jr. ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the Texans sent Arizona a 2027 second-round pick and a sixth-round pick for Harrison and a 2027 seventh. The fourth overall pick in 2024 had 5 catches for 85 yards in four games this season and joins a group led by Nico Collins. Stroud, his Ohio State teammate, called him “probably the hardest worker I’ve ever been around in my life.” theScore · CBS Sports

Both teams leave Week 5 hurting

Jacksonville left tackle Anton Harrison was carted off with a knee injury against the Eagles, and Walker Little replaced him. Long snapper Ross Matiscik hurt his shoulder, so DaVon Hamilton snapped on the winning kick, and safety Eric Murray did not dress with a concussion. For Houston, Ryans said running back David Montgomery may miss time with a groin injury, and Jalen Pitre will have more tests on his shoulder. AP via ABC News · Jaguars.com · CBS Sports · NBC Sports

A split series and a Wembley memory

The teams split last season. Jacksonville won 17-10 in Week 3, and Houston came back from 19 points down to win 36-29 in Week 10 on Davis Mills’ 14-yard touchdown run with 31 seconds left, the start of a 10-game winning streak. This is Houston’s third international game; the second was a 26-3 win over the Jaguars at Wembley on November 3, 2019. HoustonTexans.com

Why each side can win

The Texans

Houston just held Tennessee to 3 points, with Anderson getting three sacks, and Stroud has 1,402 passing yards. Marvin Harrison Jr. now joins Nico Collins at receiver. Three of the four losses were by five points or fewer, Houston won the last meeting 36-29, and Jacksonville lost left tackle Anton Harrison to a knee injury on Sunday.

The Jaguars

Jacksonville is 4-1 with three straight wins, came into Week 5 second in scoring defense, and stayed in London after the Eagles game. Lawrence threw for 331 yards Sunday, Washington has 352 receiving yards, and Tuten has run for between 65 and 73 yards every week. Houston may be without Montgomery.

What the market says

The posted line has Jacksonville Jaguars favoured by 3, with a total of 43.5. A spread is the market's estimate of the margin, not a result; the Kalshi contract below prices the win outright.

The two venue prices sit at the top of this page and are read live when it loads. A contract settles at $1.00 if that team wins and $0 if it loses, so a price in cents is that market’s implied chance of the win. Prices are the venues’, not our picks, and the two rarely agree to the cent.

A spread and a contract price are two different questions. The spread is the market’s estimate of the margin; the contract prices the win outright, and it is the one you can sell before the game ends. Books differ on the spread itself: our read found two games where a second book had a different number the same afternoon.1

No plan is posted on this game. The props section above is about one player; this is about the game itself.

The question on Houston Texans

Houston Texans are 1-4 and they are on the road, and the line makes them the underdog by 3. Decide what chance you would give them, in cents, before you read the board. If your number is above the ask, that is the trade; if it is not, there is no trade here.

The question on Jacksonville Jaguars

Jacksonville Jaguars are 4-1 and favoured by 3. A favourite contract costs most of a dollar, so the money at risk is large against the money to be made. Work out what you lose if it goes wrong before you decide what you make if it goes right.

Whatever you decide, write the entry, the sell target and the hold rule before kickoff, and remember the fee is largest near 50¢. How the fee works

The Texans play the Jaguars on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at 9:30 AM ET (6:30 AM PT) at Wembley Stadium in London. The game is on NFL Network.

Did the Texans trade for Marvin Harrison Jr.?

Yes. DeMeco Ryans confirmed the trade after Houston’s 26-3 win at Tennessee on October 11. ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Houston sent Arizona a 2027 second-round pick and a sixth-round pick for Harrison and a 2027 seventh-round pick.

Is Anton Harrison playing in London?

It is not known yet. The Jaguars’ left tackle was carted off with a knee injury against the Eagles on October 11 and ruled out, and Walker Little replaced him. No diagnosis had been reported as of October 12.

Why are the Jaguars playing two straight games in London?

Jacksonville hosted the Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Week 5 and hosts the Texans at Wembley in Week 6. It is the Jaguars’ 12th game at Wembley and the third time they have played consecutive games at the two stadiums. In 2023 they became the first team to play back-to-back home games in London.

What is Agent Brad’s parlay for Texans vs Jaguars?

How many points is each team priced for in Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars?

Half the total moved half the spread puts Houston Texans at about 20.25 points and Jacksonville Jaguars at about 23.25. That is arithmetic on the two posted numbers, not a score projection, and it is the figure most fantasy decisions on this game turn on.

How often does each leg of a pick'em entry need to hit to break even?

A pick'em entry is a parlay, so every leg has to land: two legs you price at 60 per cent are 36 per cent together, and three are 22 per cent. If your board pays N times the entry on an L-leg play, the entry needs to win one divided by N of the time, so each leg needs the L-th root of that. A two-leg play paying 3x needs each leg at about 57.7 per cent, and a four-leg play paying 10x needs each at about 56.2 per cent. Multipliers differ by state, board and promotion, so use your own terms.
