The Houston Texans’ transformation from first to worst is nearly complete. Thanks to an epic ten-game losing skid, last year’s AFC South winners currently own the worst record in the NFL. After a somewhat promising first few games, quarterback Case Keenum has failed to throw a touchdown pass in the last two weeks. Houston is 5-1 SU in their last 6 games against the Jags, with that one loss coming just 11 days ago.\u00a0[sc:Other250banner ]<\/p>\n
Odds: Texans (-3) vs Jaguars (+3); O\/U: 43.5<\/a><\/p>\nThree wins in the four games after their bye have lifted the Jaguars from the bottom of the NFL standings. More impressively, all three wins have come on the road, including a 13-6 win at Houston. The Jacksonville running game, dead-last in the NFL at 70 yards\/game, has come back to life with back-to-back 110+ yard games. The Jags have gone 3-1 ATS after their bye.<\/p>\n
New York Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets (7:00 PM ET)<\/h3>\n
This has been the season from hell for the New York Knicks. With their most indispensable player in Tyson Chandler injured four games into the season, the Knicks have slumped to a 3-13 start, and are in the midst of a nine-game losing streak. Their star player Carmelo Anthony has issued a challenge to his \u201claughingstock\u201d team<\/a> to end their skid tonight against the Nets. The Knicks are 7-3 in last 10 games vs. Brooklyn.<\/p>\nOdds: Knicks (+1) vs Nets (-1); O\/U: 189.0<\/a><\/p>\nThings haven\u2019t fared much better in the neighboring New York borough. Expected to challenge in the East this season, Brooklyn is nowhere near doing so after a dreadful 5-13 start. Injuries to key personnel (Deron Williams, Paul Pierce, Andrei Kirilenko) and coaching turmoil<\/a> have all played their part in the ongoing disaster. But a loss at home to the equally awful Knicks would be unacceptable.\u00a0 The OVER is 9-4 in the Nets\u2019 last 13 home games.<\/p>\n
