Preamble

Hello football fans. Week six of the NFL arrives with action from Wembley as the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Houston Texans in an AFC South matchup starting at 8.30am CST 9.30am EST 2.30pm GMT.

The Jaguars delivered a strong performance last week in Tottenham defeating the Eagles on a final-second field goal to reach 4-1. Trevor Lawrence and the team feel confident facing the 1-4 Texans.

The records suggest Houston may struggle along with injuries to David Montgomery (groin) and Jalen Pitre (shoulder). Yet Houston holds four wins in the past five meetings against Jacksonville.

CJ Stroud gains a new option with Marvin Harrison Jr debuting for the Texans. An offense needing a boost could find it here as a loss would not fully eliminate playoff hopes though a miracle would be required to advance.
