00:00All right, I want to get to the trade deadline, but first I want to do Thursday night football

00:06real quick because this is like the hysterical line of the week.

00:09Like someone's going to be really wrong here picking this game because it's like it's funny

00:14to me.

00:15The Jets take on the Houston Texans and the Jets are at home.

00:19And initially after watching last week's games, you would ask yourself, okay, what's the line

00:24in this game?

00:25Houston at New York.

00:26You'd be like, all right, you know, Jets, probably they're not good.

00:28No home field advantage.

00:30I don't know.

00:31Houston minus one, maybe a pick them.

00:33Jets minus two Thursday night against the Houston Texans.

00:37Total of 42.

00:38I feel like we're all getting suckered into taking Houston here, Jacob, right?

00:41Like that's got to be the deal.

00:42Jets are winning this game, right?

00:45I think so because I saw the line and immediately was like, that cannot be right.

00:49Like I don't want to back the Jets.

00:51I think that's what everyone's thinking.

00:53They're looking at them coming off a loss to the Patriots and they're saying they can't

00:57beat the Texans.

00:58But I think the Texans they've won games this year, but they're a little overrated right

01:01now just because they're missing Nico Collins and without him, their offense isn't nearly

01:06as explosive.

01:07The Colts came close to beating them last week.

01:10There's only a three point game and Anthony Richardson didn't have the best game statistically.

01:14But if that passing offense had disconnected on a couple more plays, we might be talking

01:18about this game a little differently.

01:19So I think with Nico Collins out of the lineup and Stefan Diggs is also banged up, he might

01:24not play because of a knee injury.

01:26You ask yourself, can C.J. Stroud and Tank Dell move the ball on a Jets secondary that

01:31when healthy is pretty good with Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reid?

01:34I think that's why this line is the way it is.

01:36So I'm backing the Jets even though I don't want to because I think that they're trying

01:41to sucker people into taking the Texans.
