The Houston Texans (7-5) are on the road in Week 14 to take on the New York Jets (4-8). Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Texans vs. Jetsodds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Texans survived last week in a 22-17 home win over the Denver Broncos as 3-point favorites. The defense picked off Broncos QB Russell Wilson 3 times, including in the end zone in the final minute when Denver threatened to score a winning touchdown. They have won 4 of their last 5 games.

The Jets, losers of 5 straight games, lost 13-8 on the road to the Atlanta Falcons as 2.5-point underdogs. They have not scored more than 13 points in their losing streak.

Texans at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Texans 21, Jets 13

Moneyline

The Jets are trying to spark the offense with a return to Zach Wilson as the starting quarterback QB Tim Boyle started the last 3 games, all losses, and the Jets scored a total of 27 points in those games.

The Jets have not scored 20 points in a game since their 20-14 upset win over Philadelphia on Oct. 15.

The Texans have scored 21 or more in 5 straight games.

That is enough to feel confident in a Houston win. But at -190 odds, the moneyline is not the best play.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Jets have not covered the spread since their win over the Eagles, going 0-5-1 ATS since then.

All 8 of their losses have been by 4 or more points.

Five of the Texans' 7 wins have been by more than 3 points.

BET TEXANS -3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Under is 6-1 in the Jets' last 7 games. They have not scored more than 13 points since the middle of October.

But the Texans have scored 21 or more in 5 straight, although the Under is 7-2 in their last 9 games.

The Texans' last 5 games have all surpassed 33 points.

BET OVER 33 (-110).
