Get ready, NFL fans, because Sunday morning kicks off with a wild one in London: the Houston Texans (1-4) are facing off against the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-1) at Wembley Stadium. The kicker? Despite their rough start this season, the Texans somehow hold a commanding 32-16 lead in the all-time series against the Jags. This isn’t just some historical footnote either, Houston has won three of their four most recent matchups.
Texans Own The Jags, Even When They Shouldn’t
Seriously, 32-16? That’s a staggering lead for a team currently sitting at 1-4. It just shows that when these two teams get together, history often goes out the window. We’re talking about a rivalry where the Texans have consistently found a way to come out on top. Remember last year? They snagged a 36-29 home win against the Jaguars in Houston back in 2025. And this isn’t the Texans’ first rodeo across the pond against these guys either. Their last international game was in 2019, also at Wembley, and they walked away with a win over the Jaguars then too. It’s almost like they have the Jags’ number, no matter the circumstances.
Jags’ Momentum vs. That Houston Hex
Now, the Jaguars are rolling, sitting pretty at 4-1 and coming off a huge win over the Eagles. They’re playing smart, too, staying put in London to skip any extra travel and keep that momentum going. FanDuel sees them as the favorites, with the Jaguars at -2.5 (-142) and the Texans as +2.5 (+120). The over/under is set at 42.5 points. But you gotta wonder, can the Jags finally shake this historical Texans’ hex? They’re hot, they’re focused, but that 32-16 series lead is a beast that just won’t die.
So, who’s taking this one in London? Can the Texans tap into that historical dominance again and pull off the upset, or will the Jags’ fiery start finally flip the script on this strange, one-sided series? Tune in Sunday, October 18, 2026, at 9:30 AM ET on NFL Network to find out. Bob Wischusen, Louis Riddick, and Molly McGrath will be on the call for the third European game of the 2026 NFL season. This is gonna be good!
