The Houston Texans travel to Jacksonville to take on the division rival Jaguars this Sunday at EverBank Field. Houston is coming off a blowout win over the Tennessee Titans, while Jacksonville pulled off an incredible comeback last week against the New York Giants. With that in mind, here are five bold predictions for this week's matchup between the Texans and Jaguars.

5. Jadeveon Clowney Will Record First Career Sack

Clowney has yet to make much of an impact as he has battled various injuries throughout his rookie season. While his playing status for Sunday's game is uncertain, if he gets on the field he could have success against the Jaguars' struggling offensive line.

4. Ryan Fitzpatrick Will Throw Just One Touchdown

A week after throwing six touchdowns, Fitzpatrick is bound to come back down to earth against a Jaguars defense that has played particularly well of late.

Since the injury to fellow rookie wide receiver Allen Robinson, Lee has emerged as Blake Bortles' favorite target. He could be in store for another big game Sunday against the Texans' 29th ranked pass defense.

2. Josh Wells Will Limit J.J. Watt To No Sacks

The Jaguars have allowed a league-high 50 sacks on the season. With their starting right tackle out with an injury, undrafted rookie Josh Wells will step in and limit the impact of the Texans' star player.

1. Jaguars Will Win 21-13

The Jaguars have been playing much better of late under head coach Gus Bradley. These two teams always seem to play each other close, but Jacksonville should have an advantage playing at home.
