NFL YTD
Reg Season 29-24-3 (+4.90)
NFLx 8-3 (+5.04)
Looking for the Texans to come out focused and ready to erase last weeks poor performance from their memories, and this game features two teams that have had vastly different success this year, noteably in the first half. The Texans have an average lead at the half of almost a touchdown, while Indianapolis has been outscored by 124 points in the first half, trailing by an average of nearly 9 points at intermission, and the blame lies on both sides of the ball, as offensively Colts QB's rank near the bottom of the league averaging a qb rating of 71.21 (30th in NFL), and defensively allowing qb's an average rating of 104.52 (31th in NFL). Houston out rushed the Colts in week 1 167-64, and should be able to move the ball well again, and once they get into the RedZone, should be able to turn drives into TD's against the leagues worst RedZone defense, the Colts allow teams to score TD's on 68% of RedZone possessions.
Houston can still vie for the #1 seed with some help over the next 2 weeks, so I like the Texans to come out fired up early this evening. Combine the fact that they have never beaten Indy on the road, and the Colts finally getting a win last week, helps to ensure that the odds of the Texans looking past this game are slim.
2* Houston Texans -3.5 (-118) 1st Half
