NFL betting is great all the time, but it’s especially intriguing when there’s a head coach on the hot seat.

You have to think Jacksonville Jaguars sideline boss Jack Del Rio will be just about finished if his team can’t go into Houston and knock off the Texans as 4-point dogs on Sunday.

The Jaguars suffered their second loss of the season last week against Arizona, falling 31-17 as 3-point home chalk. Thing is, many were calling for Del Rio’s head before training camp after Jacksonville went 5-11 and an NFL-worst 4-12 ATS in 2008.

The teams split the two meetings last season, but the Texans took home the cash on both occasions. That fits into a larger trend: Houston is 5-5 SU in its last 10 games against Jacksonville, but is 8-2 ATS.
