Normally, an opening week matchup for the Jacksonville Jaguars would not be on most people's calendars to watch. But with No.1 pick Trevor Lawrence the new face of the franchise, the NFL world has its eyes glued to this one on Sunday.

One thing that is perhaps surprising is that both teams are relatively healthy heading into Week 1 and that is something not many other teams can say.

Because of this, we should expect a rather good contest even without Deshaun Watson playing for the Texans.
