The halfway point of the season finds the 3-4 Texans hosting the 2-6 Indianapolis Colts this Sunday in an early game. It is starting to look like QB Andrew Luck won't make it back this year and that QB Jacoby Brissett will continue in his stead. Despite their record, the Colts have been feisty at times this year so it would serve the Texans well not to take them lightly. However, the Texans lead the league in pts./game scored (30.7) and the Colts lead the league in pts./game given up (30.8). Colts lead the all-time series 23-7.
