Houston Texans vs. New York Jets prediction, odds, Picks & Betting Trends - NFL Week 12 

The New York Jets and Houston Texans will face off in Week 12 in what is by far the least exciting game of Week 12. Only a handful of neutrals, especially fantasy owners with players from these two sides, would tune in to watch this game as both teams are 2-8 and don’t have much to play for.

The Texans are coming into this after their awe-inspiring victory over the Tennessee Titans, one of the biggest upsets in recent NFL history. They will be brimming with confidence and want to finish the season with as many wins as possible.

In their last game against the Miami Dolphins, the Jets showed some grit but eventually succumbed to a 24-17 loss. Quarterback Zach Wilson is expected to be back for this game, which is good for the Jets, who want their rookie to get as much experience as possible ahead of his sophomore season in 2022.

The game could have severe implications for the 2022 NFL draft order, as the team that loses will all but secure the second pick behind the winless Detroit Lions.

Houston Texans vs. New York Jets betting picks

The Texans will be coming into this with a lot of confidence, having beaten the best team in the AFC last week. Tyrod Taylor has shown that he can lead an offense down the field and put up points on the board, something Zach Wilson is yet to showcase.

The game won’t be as close as the odds suggest. Bet the under and the Texans to cover the spread.
