2. Take the Texans -4.5 vs. Indianapolis

Andrew Luck’s return to prominence this season has been nothing short of remarkable. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the same supporting cast that Deshaun Watson enjoys in Houston. That’s why you should put your money on the Texans winning a good ole fashioned shootout on Sunday.

Football purists who love to watch great defense should choose another game to watch. However, if you like offense, this game is for you. To that end, we’ll also support you making a solid wager on over 50 points in this one.

In the end, we just believe Watson is primed to have a really big day. His Texans have won nine games in a row after an unsettling 0-3 start. He looks like a completely different quarterback than he did early in the season. That’s not surprising since he was coming back from a serious knee injury.

While we like the over here, don’t mess with the 4.5 point spread. Vegas is smart to know this could end up as a three-point game. We simply think it’s going to be a touchdown victory for the Texans instead. Make your bet on Houston and enjoy the profits.
