The New York Jets will be featured in primetime for the fifth time already as they kick off Week 9 of the NFL's regular season at home against the Houston Texans on Thursday night. While the Jets (2-6) are riding a five-game losing streak, the Texans (6-2) travel on a short week just five days after losing another star wide receiver to a major injury. ODDS AND TRENDS Despite sitting near the bottom of the AFC standings, the Jets are 2.0-point favorites. That has led to heavy action on the Texans at sportsbooks including BetRivers, where Houston has been backed by 55 percent of the spread-line money and 60 percent of the total bets.
