Official Texans vs. Colts Game Thread, 11/21/2019

[Arky]

The 6-4 Texans will host the 6-4 Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football this week. The Texans are coming off a 41-7 beatdown administered by the Baltimore Ravens on the road. The Colts are coming off a 33-13 home win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Winner will get the lead in the AFC South division.

Hard to say which way this goes so I'm going to refer to a pair of games in the Texan's past this year. Earlier in the year, the Texans had a pitiful showing against the Carolina Panthers at home but rebounded nicely against the Atlanta Falcons the next week. Since the Texans are coming off another similar pitiful outing against the Ravens, I'm going to say they rebound again. Of course, the Falcons are not the Colts but I think the Texans will play with more focus and cover the 4 pt. spread.....
