The Indianapolis Colts head to Houston to take on the Texans this weekend. The Colts got off to a rocky start, losing their first two games of the season. However, they responded nicely by winning four of their last five games.
In the first meeting between the two teams early in the season, the Colts were one possession away from potentially winning the game. They ultimately lost 29-27.
The Texans have started the season strong with a 5-2 record but are coming off a loss to the Packers. Some questionable time management late in the game likely cost them the win.
Despite their two losses, they have yet to lose a game at home this season.
CJ Stroud has been impressive in his first two seasons with the Texans. The team as a whole is well-constructed and playing well. Hence the reason the Texans are favored in this game.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
NBC Sports analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is eyeing Joe Mixon Over 75.5 rushing yards:
“Joe Mixon has battled injury this season. However, in the games, he’s been active, has played a full workload, and has gone over 100 yards. He’s been the workhorse for the Texans. The Colts allow the third most rushing yards per game this season at 125.1 per game.”
