I sure don't have a clue, or even an inkling who's going to win tomorrow in Indy ? It would be great to finally win up there and add some cheer to the Christmas week.
But even if we win tomorrow we probably will still need to beat the Jags in the last game of the regular season to win the division, and they seem to be the team in the AFC South that's playing the best right now.

Despite the late surge, I don't think the Hags are much of a factor. They lose out on too many tiebreakers since a lot of thier losses were AFC. Based on the scenario generator Bob found, if we all end up tied, the Hags would be 3rd. We win today, we have a small cushion assuming we beat TN.

Ya, the Hags are in a letdown situation today (after whooping Indy last week) and it wouldn't surprise me to see Atlanta beat them today....

re: Texans vs Colts, this seems to be one of the more evenly bet/picked games of the week. The spread hasn't changed much with the game ranging from a pickem to Colts by 1.5.

I will say this is one of the better opportunities for the Texans to win in Indy and we'll see very shortly if they can take advantage of it....

Colts win the toss and defer, Texans to receive.

Kickoff is a touchback.

--------------------------------------------------

Texan's ball at their 20.

Polk for 1.

Pass to Hop is broken up but flag on the Colts for PI. Places the ball at the Texan 43.

Polk for 3.

Polk for maybe 1. Brings up 3rd and 6.

Pass to Washington gets close to the 1st down..... On 4th and 1, Texans will go for it.

Hunt sweeps left for big gain and the 1st down at the Colt 27.

Hunt for 1.

TJ's pass is INT'ed by Davis at the Colt 15.

[WMH]

Not a good throw. Looked like Hopkins was going to the end zone and TJ was throwing an out/back shoulder.

[Big Texas]

If that ball was thrown to the end zone that's a TD...

[Big Texas]

Way to give up a 3rd and 11...

[Arky]

Pass to AJ goes for 10.

Gore for 5.

Pass to Hilton good for 6 and the 1st down.

Blue gets 4 or 5 and the 1st down.

TJ pressured, scrambles for 7.

Ugh, Blue runs hard but gets stripped and the refs call it a fumble. Play is under review... it's close........

Refs rule Colt's ball.
