The Houston Texans and the New York Jets will meet from East Rutherford, New Jersey tonight.
Houston comes into this contest with a record of 6-2. Early in the season, the Texans have been of the best teams in the NFL. DeMeco Ryans' squad won the AFC South last season, and is a heavy favorite to win another divisional championship this year.
Houston has the ninth-best odds to win the Super Bowl via DraftKings Sportsbook (+1600). The Texans lead the AFC South by two games over the Indianapolis Colts. A win tonight will give the Texans a 2.5-game lead in the division.

Houston Texans vs. New York Jets Prediction
Signal caller CJ Stroud leads the Houston offense with 1,948 passing yards, eleven touchdowns, and four interceptions.
Joe Mixon leads the ground game with 503 yards and five touchdowns.
Houston will be without their top two receivers tonight in Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs. Collins and Diggs have combined for 1,063 yards and six touchdowns this year.
Houston ranks 15th in points allowed per game (22.4).
New York limps into this game with a 2-6 record. The season has been a disaster for the Jets. At this stage of the season, it will take a miracle for the Jets to make the playoffs.
A few weeks ago, New York fired now-former head coach Robert Saleh in hopes of giving this team a spark. Additionally, the Jets traded for veteran Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers' favorite target. Since acquiring Adams, the Jets have been 0-2. New York has lost five consecutive games, the longest losing streak in the AFC.
Aaron Rodgers has thrown for 1,896 yards, twelve touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
Breece Hall leads the backfield, dashing for 428 yards and three touchdowns.
Garrett Wilson has been Rodgers' top target, with 573 yards and three touchdowns.
