Buy Razor Ray’s Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Every week we expect the Colt\u2019s Luck to run out (pun intended) but it doesn\u2019t. Indianapolis has won 7 of its last 8 games to go from nice story to near playoff certainty.<\/p>\n If they can take this game from the Texans then they could actually take the division too, something that would have seemed unfathomable a month or so ago…<\/p>\n You have to heap a lot of the credit on unflappable rookie QB Andrew Luck. \u00a0His turnovers have been up the last 4 games but he has been fantastic late in games and clearly inspires confidence.<\/p>\n This will be the first time in a while where he will be facing a quality defense though so it won\u2019t be easy to continue their current run…<\/p>\n The number on this one caught me off guard. \u00a0I think you can throw out series trends because so much has changed over the years but I don\u2019t think you can ignore where these teams are coming from.<\/p>\n The Colts are streaking and should be taken seriously. \u00a0They have been solid on the road too. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n I have to admit I didn\u2019t see the Texans shellacking at the hands of the Patriots on Monday night coming.<\/p>\n While the performance begs reconsideration of the Texans in the NFL pecking order it should also be noted that the game was the third road contest in a row for Houston. \u00a0You want them to get up for New England but they aren\u2019t the first team to get crushed at Gillette Stadium…<\/p>\n This week will reveal more as the Texans look to assert supremacy over their division.<\/p>\n It might be a good time to get the ground game going. \u00a0Sure Arian Foster has a bunch of yards and scores but he is averaging under 4 yards per carry – the lowest of his career by half a yard.<\/p>\n The passing attack is effective but far from scary in my mind…If you are backing Houston than you can take comfort that they have performed well in similar roles this season.<\/p>\n 5 times they have been favoured between 7 and 13 points this season and they have won 4 of them. \u00a0The question is whether the number on this is legit.<\/p>\n I think it will come down as gametime approaches so be patient.<\/p>\n Spread Pick: \u00a0Indianapolis +9.5<\/strong> Colts vs Texans NFL Football Spread\/Handicapping A very interesting game due to recent events. \u00a0Can the Colts really be this good and are the Texans as good as we thought. \u00a0Those are questions everyone wants answered and they get a chance to settle this on the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":21926,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[3029,1783,2244,20611,20612,4898,10717,844,6318,6322],"class_list":["post-58254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-colts-vs-texans","tag-houston-texans","tag-indianapolis-colts","tag-indianapolis-colts-vs-houston-texans","tag-indianapolis-vs-houston","tag-nfl-football-odds","tag-nfl-football-predictions","tag-nfl-picks","tag-nfl-week-15-lines","tag-week-15-free-picks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58254"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58254\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58507,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58254\/revisions\/58507"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
