Colts vs. Texans Updated Odds and Prediction: What Bettors Need to Know

The Indianapolis Colts got their winning streak snapped last week, but they proved that they are here to make a run at the postseason. The Colts went toe-to-toe with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and nearly came out with the win. The Texans, however, lost to the New York Jets and fell further down the standings. Can they pull one of the biggest upsets of the week?

Colts vs. Texans Prediction and Pick

Earlier this week, BetSided’s Matt De Saro explained why he sees a lot of points being scored this weekend.

“Jonathan Taylor is the key to a quick and easy win over the Texans. Houston ranks 24th in the NFL in opponent yards per rush and 31st with 135.6 rushing yards surrendered per game.  Taylor was bottled up in last week’s loss and will be hungry to get back over 100 yards rushing for the fourth time in six games.” 

I’m with De Saro on this one. The Texans let the Jets score 18 unanswered points against them and the Colts are a much more competent offense than that. If Jonathan Taylor gets going, Houston has little to no shot of winning this game.

Pick: Colts -10.0 (-110)
