Indianapolis Colts vs Houston Texans Preview

While the NFC South battle above might not produce a lot of points, this AFC South contest has plenty of potential.

Houston’s expectations for this season are sky high with the team being touted as a possible Super Bowl contender and CJ Stroud an MVP candidate in his second season.

Despite their impressive 2023 season, they needed a win in Week 18 to just get in to the playoffs ahead of the injury ravaged Colts, who will welcome back quarterback Anthony Richardson from his season ending injury last year.

Add in having a healthy Jonathan Taylor to carry the ball and the Colts have a team that is very capable of putting up points right from the outset this season.

This could very well be a race to 30 points and the over looks like the best bet for this game.
