The New York Jets have failed to take off this season, despite having an experienced pilot in Aaron Rodgers. It has been 5 weeks since the team experienced a victory. Coming off a fresh loss to the 2-6 New England Patriots, the Jets will hope to make the most of their short break as they gear up to face the Houston Texans on Thursday.

The Houston Texans are 6-2 this season, leading the AFC South, and has managed to ease past its first eight matchups. However, things will get intense for the Texans in the second half of their season beginning with the Jets.

This Thursday’s game will also be the first of this season in which Stefon Diggs will not be part of the Texans’ offense after sustaining an ACL tear. Houston does have an abundance of wide receivers, but Diggs brought experience and skill to the table that made him the best.

A lot is at stake for the New York Jets as they head into the Week 9 game when compared to the Texans, but C.J. Stroud and Co. will hope to ease past New York as it will be a good morale booster for their next week’s matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Why can the New York Jets win?

The New York Jets are surprisingly favorites to win the Week 9 matchup, despite their 2-6 showing so far. The hope is that Aaron Rodgers will find a way to turn around the odds of the team and get his chemistry with Davante Adams back on track. The team’s offense has struggled to put points on the board.

The Jets are motivated to begin winning games again. This team has immense potential, but the one thing that they are yet to figure out is how to communicate effectively and coordinate. If they are able to take one step toward doing that in Week 9, then the Jets have a good chance to upset the Texans.

Why can the Houston Texans win?

The Texans’ record speaks for itself. The team ranks 9th in the NFL in terms of total offense, 8th in terms of passing offense, and 18th in rush offense. While C.J. Stroud and his receivers have been consistently good this season, the Texans’ defense remains the unsung hero behind this team’s successful record.

Houston has allowed an average of 280.3 yards per game this season. The defense is locking opponents down. This will be a problem for Aaron Rodgers and the Jets’ defense, who continue to struggle to get on the same page.
