Not a lot of love from the "experts" on this one.... All the ESPN guys are picking the Colts..... Same with the Sunday Countdown crew...

Only one guy I've heard pick the Texans so far: Sterling Sharpe of NFLN. His cohorts, Baldinger and Theismann are picking the Colts....

Of course, all these picks are winner only - no spread involved...

Not getting love nationally is to be expected. The team has not yet earned the respect to make people pick them. If we do win Sunday, I am sure we will get the respect that is deserved.

It appears that the Colts run of bad luck continues....SUCKS FOR THEM

PFT Reporting:
Report: Bob Sanders out for season
Posted by Michael David Smith on November 6, 2009 1:04 PM ET
Indianapolis Colts safety Bob Sanders is out for the season with a torn biceps tendon, Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting.

Sanders visited Dr. James Andrews this week, and Colts coach Jim Caldwell said today that Sanders would need surgery. But while Caldwell indicated that he was holding out some hope that Sanders could return, Schefter reports that Sanders is done for the year. Sanders suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers.

When healthy, Sanders is one of the best defensive players in football. But he's not healthy often: Sanders has played just 47 regular-season games in his six-year NFL career.

The loss of Sanders is a big one for the 7-0 Colts, and it's not the only big injury the Colts have had in their secondary this week. Colts cornerback Kelvin Hayden is expected to miss up to four weeks with a knee injury, and fellow cornerback Marlin Jackson has been placed on injured reserve after tearing his ACL during a non-contact drill in practice on Wednesday.

Guys like Bob Sanders cannot stay healthy because they are bulking huge... They are more prone to injuries because guys like that lose flexibility. Any wrong stretch can easily tear a muscle for huge guys like them.... Just look at them biceps.

This is a game that I always have mixed feelings about. I've like the Colts since Eric Dickerson played for them and even named my daughter Peyton. However, living in Houston since the Texans came into the league has made them my "pet" team. Just my luck that they are in the same Division. So, while I expect the Colts to win, I'd be happy if the Texans were to steal this game. It would give the Texans something to be hopeful about while making the Colts recognize that they aren't as great as their record.

As long as Peyton is still chunking the pig, Indy will be tough to beat. However, we need to start doing just that if we ever hope to win the division and go all the way. Might as well start with this game.

ESPNs Herm Edwards on "NLF Live" came out yesterday picking the Texans, in part he said because of all the injuries in the Colts secondary.

One more: On 790am, there's one of those oddsmaker guys that runs a pay website that comes on every Friday at around 12:30pm and gives away a couple of "free" picks. He picks the Texans game every week and this week he likes the Texans 24-21 in a straight up win also citing the injuries to the Colts secondary. Sometimes he's pretty close - other times not - he picked the Texans to roll over the Jets in week 1...

The 9 point spread seems crazy to me and sends up a red flag. Sometimes Vegas will throw out a trap/sucker bet....

I'll be glued to the TV as usual, but I may have bent an elbow a couple of times to get me prepared.

We need to get pressure with our front four. Peyton Manning loves the one on one matchup with Dallas Clark when the opponents blitz.
