I'm not saying the Jaguars will definitely win, but considering the situation in Houston it's going to be hard for them to prepare like they usually would, plus it could be played at a neutral location. All of that is to the Jaguars advantage. I do believe if the Jaguars don't run the ball well they'll be lucky to score much, but stopping the run has never been the Texans' greatest strength, they're only around average at it from a statistical point of view, so it's not out of the question if Fournette is actually worthy of his draft position.

All of that being said the Jaguars will need to perform better than in the preseason, because I think that while it's going to be challenging for the texans to prepare the Jaguars aren't a good enough team to take anyone for granted right now.

There is zero chance the game will not be played at NRG Stadium. It was not damaged in any way during the hurricane. Harvey has left Texas and all Texans players are back home. The team is dedicating this season to the city because of Hurricane Harvey, so if the storm's aftermath has any effect on the game, it is in their favor.

Don't worry about individual statistics after only one game. We will be on the road against the division champs with new players and coaches. That is not a situation where we need a single game to judge the team on.
