Despite the Texm'ams considerable skills at emptying their sixguns into their own feet, I expect a brutal game when the Colts play them this week. The Texans almost have to win this game to have a chance at claiming the division title and I anticipate the kind of effort that prognosticators expected from them before the season.

Naturally, I am hoping for a Colts victory. Not willing to predict one though. This should be some game.

Home field advantage has held firm between these two teams for the last three years running.

Maybe the change at QB will do enough to push Houston to the win Sunday night.

Honestly speaking, Texan fans would have held out zero hope of competing in this game had Schaub been starting.

I was surprised to see the line @ only -2.5 Colts.

I am also looking forward to this game. Kubiak is reportedly going to start Case Keenum at QB, even though Matt Schaub is healthy enough to play. I saw Keenum play a lot in college and I always wondered if he could succeed in the NFL. I really think that his skills fit the Texans offense. Should be a tough test against the Colts.

Agreed. Indy +2.5 looks to me like perhaps the most appealing line in the league this week.

I think Vegas sees a desperate Texans team and a Colts team that just lost their best skill player in Wayne for the season. Throw in division games always seem closer than others. I still think Colts win but I understand the line.

I can see it. Houston at home coming off a bye. Gamblers buying in to Keenum. Plus, the Colts have kind of played up to and down to the level of competition.
