Jaguars vs. Texans: Week 4 Betting Previewclose

Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars are off to a miserable 0-3 start following Monday night’s ugly 47-10 road loss to the Buffalo Bills. Lawrence, who signed a $275 million extension in the offseason, has completed just 52.8 percent of pass attempts for two touchdowns and one interception.

Lawrence has now lost eight straight starts dating back to last season. It’s an astonishing unraveling from a quarterback who led the Jaguars to an AFC South division crown and playoff victory two seasons ago, and from a player who guided Jacksonville to a superb 8-3 start last year.

Social media detectives believe that Trevor Lawrence’s sudden unraveling stems from the well-documented “Terrible Towel” curse. You may recall that during last year’s Week 8 road win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Jaguars taunted Steelers fans by waving the towels around.

After the game, Lawrence referred to them as “little yellow towels.” That comment irked Steelers fans at the time, but they’ve got the last laugh now:

 

Whether you’re superstitious or not, the bottom line is that the Jaguars have been repaid with a cruel reminder of, “What goes around comes around.” You might not believe the Terrible Towel curse, but the Jaguars’ record since they disrespected the Steelers speaks for itself.

Trevor Lawrence Isn’t Living Up To The “Generational” Label

As hard as it is to believe now, there was a time when the Jaguars and New York Jets were neck-and-neck in the Trevor Lawrence draft sweepstakes. Jets fans were enraged when their team stunned the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15 of that year, playing themselves out of the first-overall pick.

Lawrence was hyped as a generational QB when the Jaguars selected him first overall in 2021. But with a 20-33-0 career record and zero 30-TD seasons, Lawrence has been anything but generational.
