This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the Houston Texans.
While the outright win isn't out of the question in this game, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can on what I feel is an undervalued home side. This is a big game for both teams, but obviously Houston will be the hungrier; the Texans are coming off a dreadful 2013/14 season, but with a win tonight can take over sole possession of the AFC South and avoid a fourth consecutive loss in this series. The Texans will once again be leaning heavily on RB Arian Foster who had 157 yards and two TD's in Sunday's 20-17 OT loss at Dallas; Foster is second in the league in averaging 101.0 YPG thus far. Note that Foster has been money on the short week of work as well, he's averaged 5.3 yards per carry while rushing for 343 yards and four TD's in three "Thursday Night" contests: "It's a huge game for us," Texans' offensive tackle Duane Brown said last night. "The good thing about the Colts is that we're very familiar with them. Of course you have a different game plan than we've had in years past, but as far as the personnel and things like that we kind of know what to expect. So that makes it a little bit easier, but it's never easy." Indianapolis has won seven straight "Thursday night" games, but I think runs into a buzzsaw today against this talented and revenge minded Texans' defensive unit. If ever the Colts were going to have a letdown, I think this week qualifies, they've been playing at an extremely high level, they've outscored their last three opponents 105-47; a quick turn around on the road and a nationally televised divisional contest is asking a lot, even for QB Andrew Luck. Note, the Colts offense has taken a hit as well, as starting guards Hugh Thornton and Jack Mewhort will miss the game with injuries. One other player to keep your eyes on today is the home side's Andre Johnson who has averaged 158.3 yards while totaling 27 receptions and five TD's in his last three home games against the Colts. I think the situation favors the home side; play on the TEXANS.
