Colts vs. Texans Odds
Game Preview
The Colts are ending this season hurt and disappointed. After an excellent start, everything fell apart for the team that has been at the top of the conference for so long.
Indianapolis has lost the last 6 meetings, some closely, some not, but overall, this year has been a huge disappointment for this unit. When talking about NFL betting, here are some facts: 4 of their previous 6 games went UNDER, and the Colts are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.
As for the Texans, they battle to reach the top of the division, though the Jags await the Titans in the last round, and they won’t miss a chance to clinch the home-field or even take the No.1 seed in the AFC.
Houston has the best defense in the NFL, allowing 16.6 points per game. We saw how they beat the Chargers last weekend, 20-16, not allowing Justin Herbert to breathe. If there were a bit more reliable QB than Stroud, this team would be wild.
Colts vs. Texans Head to Head
In 48 matches, the Colts won 33 times, the Texans 14, and one game was a tie. This year, they would win in Indianapolis 20-16 in late November.
Colts vs. Texans Predictions
Indianapolis Colts are on their way down, and the Texans have to win here; therefore, we pick the hosts to win and cover a 12.5-point spread.
