Houston Texans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars predictions: Who will win AFC South showdown in London?

LONDON - The Houston Texans will face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Wembley Stadium. 

It'll be another critical game for the Texans, who dropped their first four games before finally getting their first win. 

Here are our staff predictions: 

Jonathan M. Alexander 

Texans 30, Jaguars 27    

The Texans finally got a win last week against the Titans. And though this week is a significant step up in competition, the Texans will be ready for the challenge. C.J. Stroud is playing as well as we've ever seen him, and the defense is improving.

Season record: 3-2

Reid Laymance 

Jaguars 23, Texans 17

The Jaguars' defense is too much for a Texans offense that is still trying to find itself. And Trevor Lawrence is a lot better than Cam Ward.

Season record: 3-2 

Greg Rajan

Jaguars 24, Texans 20

It's hard to glean anything from a victory over the moribund Titans, but the fact the Texans only scored two touchdowns against a wretched team is concerning. Trevor Lawrence outdoes C.J. Stroud in a tight win. 

Season record: 2-3

Peter Warren

Jaguars 24, Texans 17

This is the third time the Jaguars have played two weeks in a row in London. They won the second game both times previously. 

Season record: 2-3

Matt Young

Jaguars 17, Texans 14

Texans are the more desperate team, but the Jaguars are the better team. That should be enough for Jacksonville to win a tight one. 

Season record: 1-4
