The Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts come into this game with the AFC South up for grabs. Frank Reich has done a fantastic job since finding out the shocking news of his franchise quarterback all of a sudden retiring as they sit 3-2 coming off a bye week. This game practically sits at a pick ’em, which makes the positional matchups very intriguing in a game that the winner will also win the spread.
Houston’s defense ranks in the top half of the league in sacks (T-12th) and passing yards allowed per game (9th), giving first-year starter Jacoby Brissett a challenging opponent none the less. Deshaun Watson is having an MVP caliber season in just his third year and won’t look to slow down this week. Indianapolis does have the advantage in the fact that they’re coming off the bye making them almost completely healthy going into Sunday. Houston simply has too many weapons and should be able to ultimately win this game, even if it comes down to a game winning drive by Watson and Co
