(NFL) Indianapolis vs. Houston,
Money Line: -115.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Loss
Indianapolis at Houston 4:30 ET
Colts (+) over Texans- A matchup of hot teams that turned their seasons' around when most had written them off. Houston was 0-3 and people were talking about how much longer Jim O'Brien would remain head coach. The Colts were 1-5 and with Andrew Luck was still looking weak and they seem destined for the basement but went on to win 9-of-10 finishing a game behind the Texans. Houston won the division by closing 11-2 SU and going 6-2-2 ATS in their 10 overall. At first glance the trends seem rather even with Houston 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight versus the AFC while the Colts are 6-0 ATS against teams with winning records. Then it shows us Indianapolis is 5-0-1 ATS in their last six trips to Houston and the Texans are 1-5 ATS against teams with winning record and finally the road team is 7-1-2 ATS in the lat 10 meetings. In a very even game between two well matched teams but the 'public' sends us to Houston as they over-react to the Colts. Take the TEXANS!
