Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts

Quick read:

Take the Houston moneyline and watch the Colts get caught in a rookie’s surprise party; Stroud’s arm is finally getting the respect it deserves, and Indianapolis looks like it’s still polishing its helmets.

Houston’s recent surge has been built on a balanced attack that finally strings together runs and passes, a combo the Colts haven’t seen all season, and that kind of unpredictability is a nightmare for a defense that’s more comfortable defending the run than the deep ball.

The only hitch is the Colts’ veteran savvy could keep the game close, but at those odds the risk is about as thin as a diet soda—worth the sip.
