Preview:
The ledger is all square at 6-4 again between these two bitter South rivals.
Baltimore did the Colts a favour by handing the Texans a brutal 41-7 loss last week, while Indianapolis helped their own cause by defeating the Colts 33-13 with Jacoby Brissett back under center.
Our bookmakers are siding with the Texans in this one, installing them as early 3.5-point favourites with home-field advantage. There’s a case to be made for the Colts however, especially with a convincing 6-3-1 record against the spread in their last 10-games against Houston.
Frank Reich’s side already owns a win over the Texans this year winning a 30-23 thriller back in Week 7. Both coaches will review the tape of their previous meeting, and it is worth noting how well Indy’s defence played holding Houston to only four third down conversions.
The Colts’ defence has been something special this year and nobody is talking about. Indy has allowed the eighth-fewest yards and the 12th fewest points, but on the other side of the ball, the injury to star running back Marlon Mack could complicate things on offence.
Mack’s absence is a huge break for the Texans and Bill O’Brien’s defence. That said, this is a must-win game for Houston if they hold any hope of securing a first-round playoff bye, so it’s worth backing the favourites.
