Jacksonville already beat Philadelphia 22-17 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium behind a walk-off field goal, improving to 4-1. Houston sits at 1-4 after beating Tennessee 26-3 on the road.\n\nThe Jaguars enter as 2.5-point favorites at -145 on the moneyline, with Houston at +125 and the over-under set at 42.5. Jacksonville will be without cornerback Montaric Brown and long snapper Ross Matiscik, while cornerback Jaylon Jones is questionable. Houston is missing receiver Tank Dell, running back David Montgomery and safety Jalen Pitre, with cornerback J'Marcus Ingram also questionable.\n\nBeyond the game itself, the matchup carries extra weight for the franchise's international arrangement. The Jaguars gave up two home dates in Jacksonville to serve as the designated home team for both London games this year, a first for the club. The NFL ran the Eagles game at Tottenham and kept the revenue, as it typically does for international matchups, but Jacksonville operates and retains the revenue from its Wembley game under its contract with the league and the venue. That financial setup, and the team's broader commitment to London, remains a bigger storyline as the Jaguars look to leave the city unbeaten this season.","published_at":"2026-10-17T05:34:53.087177+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Eagles-Jaguars London game overrun appears to have hurt Fox, CBS pregame show viewership","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/eagles-jaguars-london-game-overrun-fox-cbs-pregame-show-viewership.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaguars vs. Texans, odds, injuries in AFC South showdown in London","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jaguars-vs-texans-odds-injuries-191342939.html"},{"outlet":"Front Office Sports","publisher":"Front Office Sports","title":"Jaguars Eye First London Sweep As U.K. Future Remains Uncertain","url":"https://frontofficesports.com/article/jaguars-eye-first-london-sweep-as-u-k-future-remains-uncertain/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaguars Eye First London Sweep As U.K. Future Remains Uncertain","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jaguars-eye-first-london-sweep-154626365.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles-Jaguars London game overrun appears to have hurt Fox, CBS pregame show viewership","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-jaguars-london-game-overrun-000023700.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://frontofficesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-11T155548Z_1463736699_UP1EMAB188YT4_RTRMADP_3_FOOTBALL-NFL-PHI-JAC-scaled-e1792165513703.jpg?quality=80&w=1024","credit":"Front Office Sports","width":1024},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
