The game will boil down to our OL against their front 7.

Well, if that particular statement is the case then the Jags automatically lose.  BUT there's a whole lot more game than one particular match-up.  I always think the first game of any NFL season comes down to which team makes the least mistakes in terms of penalties and turnovers.  My guess is that neither team's offense lights up the field, and it will be the most disciplined team that comes away with a win.

Well of COURSE there are other parts of the game that can effect the outcome.

I don't think your receivers stand much chance against our DBs, for instance.

But considering the strongest unit on either team is the Texans DL specifically and the front 7 overall, it is most imperative we block those guys.  Our best chance will be inside, IMO, with Linder vs. Reader, their new NT.  If Linder can get movement against him, perhaps we have the chance to get the running game going.
