Why the Texans Can Top the Colts and Jaguars in AFC South

Experts are assessing that Houston has gotten even better this season. This makes the team a strong contender to secure the second divisional title.

It won’t be as simple as that, though, especially with Indianapolis and Jacksonville in the equation. The Jaguars, led by Trevor Lawrence, opened the 2023 season with an 8-3 record before losing the lead in the second half of the season. With a renewed vigor, the team emerges as a formidable contender.

Even Anthony Richardson from the Colts is looking to contend for the Rookie of the Year award this time around. Here is an overview of the betting odds based on the teams’ current assessments.

• The Houston Texans boast the most favored squad among the lot, with odds of -105.
• Jacksonville Jaguars are the next in line with odds of +300.
• Indianapolis Colts are also in contention with odds of +325.
• Tennessee Titans offer an immense risk-reward option for bettors with odds of +1000.

Currently, the Texans are the only team that has negative odds to win the division. Indianapolis and Jacksonville ended the previous season at 9-8 each, and their odds across the NFL betting sites depict the same sentiment.

This time around, the Houston Texans are entering the competition with the Pro Bowlers at five different spots. While the Colts and the Jags offer favorable propositions, winning against the Texans in 2024 will be highly challenging.
